New faces for Fianna Fáil to make mark around the country

The last election was a wipe-out in many areas for Fianna Fáil as the nation took their fury out on the party.

This time around, they will be hoping to regain some lost seats and this, coupled with the quota for female candidates, means there are a significant number of new faces on constituency tickets across the country.

A number of these candidates will be hoping to become prominent household names in the lifetime of the next government.
