FF poised to take second seat in Kerry South, poll shows

FIANNA FÁIL has a serious chance of winning a second seat in Kerry South in the next election, according to the results of an opinion poll released last night.

But, despite high expectations in Fine Gael, the party could again fail to regain the seat it lost in the constituency in 1989 if the TG4/ TNS MRBI poll is correct.

The poll, based on a sample of 500 people in 50 locations around the constituency, predicts a four-way contest for three seats, with Arts, Sport and Tourism Minister John O’Donoghue, FF, being by far the strongest candidate.
