Left transfers likely to decide outcome of battle for final seat

THE transfers of the wealth of left-leaning candidates looks key to deciding the destination of the fourth and final seat in Cork North Central.

With this poll suggesting it will go to outgoing Fianna Fáil TD Billy Kelleher, it is way too close to call for sure in his favour or that of Cork County Council member John Gilroy.

Both are from the Glanmire area, barely outside the city’s north east boundary, in what is perceived as a largely urban constituency.
