Chambers and Calleary join Carty on FF ticket in Mayo

FIANNA FÁIL yesterday selected a former senator and the son of a former TD as candidates in Mayo, one of the most difficult constituencies for the party in next year’s General Election.

Frank Chambers from Newport and Dara Calleary from Ballina were both chosen to join sitting TD John Carty in a closely-fought selection convention in Castlebar yesterday.

Mr Chambers is a former senator and got some 5,700 preferences in the 2002 general election.
