Fianna Fáil HQ ignoring local organisation, says election hopeful

A POTENTIAL Fianna Fáil Dáil candidate in Cork South West yesterday threw down the gauntlet to the party’s HQ, accusing it of procrastination and secrecy.

Alan Coleman, a county councillor from Belgooly, declared his intention to seek a nomination for the party two years ago.

But Cork South West remains one of only three constituencies where Fianna Fáil has yet to hold a convention.
