Fine Gael identifies potential win in 31 seats

FINE GAEL is targeting seats in the next general election in five out of the six constituencies where the Green Party has TDs.

Enda Kenny’s party has identified 31 possible gains in the next election, including eight seats in Dublin and five in Cork.

The list of targets presented to Fine Gael’s parliamentary party meeting last week is predictably dominated by seats lost by the party in 2002.
