Former minister John Perry in High Court bid to be put on Fine Gael ticket

The Sligo-Leitrim TD will make a last-ditch attempt to overturn an election selection convention result which has barred him from being put on the party ticket. He says a “technical error” at the party’s election selection convention recently has prevented him running.
He was beaten in the election selection process by just a handful of votes, but says some of his supporters were prevented on the night from voting for him.
