Survey has FG struggling to win seat in key constituency

FINE GAEL will fail to win a seat in one of the constituencies the party targeted for a key gain at the general election, according to the results of a new poll.

Party strategists had prepared as far back as 2005 a list of targets which they said would be crucial to Fine Gael’s hopes of regaining power this summer.

Among them was former party leader Alan Dukes’s old seat in Kildare South.
