‘Keep ministers’ Mercs out of Donegal’

FIANNA FÁIL needs to keep “ministers and their Mercs” out of Donegal South West if it is to have any chance of winning the by-election there, a senior party source has said.

“Keep the ministerial cars out of it. If you put people up there from the current Cabinet, they’ll lose it,” he said.

Campaigning in the by-election is already well under way ahead of the November 25 vote, and the favourite is the Sinn Féin candidate, Senator Pearse Doherty.
