FF ‘may lose’ Donegal seats

LEADING political analyst Sean Donnelly has predicted Fianna Fáil could lose all seats in the two Co Donegal constituencies, including Tánaiste Mary Coughlan’s.

As anger mounted among Fine Gael rank-and-file after only one candidate was selected to contest Donegal South West against the Tánaiste, Mr Donnelly said she and Niall Blaney in Donegal North East could face difficulties in holding their seats.

With FF support across the country plunging drastically Mr Donnelly, a native of Letterkenny, said that with the party rating nationally below 14% it was not looking good for the traditional FF stronghold in Co Donegal.
