Lenihan a cert for Dail seat

Fianna Fail seems certain to return Conor Lenihan to the Dail from Dublin South West later today.

The party's vote management in the constituency should bring home his running mate, Charlie O'Connor, also.

While Mr Lenihan said he was concerned about news of the trouble being faced by his aunt, Mary O'Rourke, in Westmeath, he said overall Fianna Fail had "done an extraordinary job".
