Byelection set to go down to the wire

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has predicted that the Carlow- Kilkenny byelection will be decided on transfers.

He said he expects the race between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael for Phil Hogan’s former seat will go down to wire.

Mr Kenny made the comments during a rally in support of his party’s candidate, David Fitzgerald, urging people to make one last push to get the former Kilkenny mayor in to the Dáil.
