Labour, FG did not campaign for Yes vote — Minister
“The Fianna Fail organisation were the only people canvassing actively in this constituency for a Yes vote,’’ he said at the count centre in Killarney. “At best, Fine Gael and Labour voters received little or no leadership here which is best illustrated by the fact that no other deputies bothered to turn up at the count.’’
Mr O’Donoghue, said he was very pleased with the 60.5% Yes vote in Kerry South. There was a degree of ambivalance among other parties, but Fianna Fail worked hard and managed to get out the vote that mattered, he said. Nationwide, he felt the majority of people voted Yes because they had been reassured by the Government on issues such as neutrality and immigration.
