Campaigning steps up for June 11

Campaigning for next month’s triple poll – in the European and local elections and for the referendum on citizenship – intensified among the parties involved today.

The Fianna Fáil party launched its bid to secure a Yes vote in the citizenship plebiscite – designed to clarify laws affecting immigrants - and the Labour, Green and Progressive Democrat groups stepped up efforts to net support in the same day’s European and local contests.
