Sinnott confident of Euro seat

As Ms Sinnott and a group of 60 supporters handed in her nomination papers at Cork City Hall yesterday, she said she was confident she could build on her surprise performance in the 2002 General Election when she came within three votes of taking the last seat in Cork South Central after a marathon count.

Ms Sinnott is standing on a platform of disability rights, specifically campaigning for a rights-based disability bill. Her wide-ranging manifesto also includes pledges to oppose incineration, seek safe immunisation for children, and opposition to any moves to close or limit the services of local hospitals.
