Cooney confirms FG bid to get him to run but remains undecided

FINE GAEL councillor Joe Cooney last night confirmed that the party has approached him to run as a fourth candidate in the forthcoming general election.

The east Clare-based councillor confirmed yesterday that party headquarters had approached him last weekend to contest a seat in the four- seat constituency.

However, the poll-topping councillor from the 2009 local elections said he remains undecided.
