FF to run three candidates for one constituency
The announcement that all three sitting TDs, Jim McDaid, Niall Blaney and Cecelia Keaveney, will receive the nomination came on foot of a meeting between Mr Blaney and the Taoiseach on Tuesday night.
Recent controversy had centred on how the party would manage its electoral strategy following the merging of the Independent Fianna Fáil organisation — led by Mr Blaney — with Fianna Fáil and Mr McDaid’s decision not to retire after the next election.
