SF selects Dublin West election contestant

Fingal county councillor Felix Gallagher has been selected as the Sinn Féin candidate to contest the next general election for the constituency of Dublin West.

Speaking after the event, cllr Gallagher said: "Dublin West is one of the fastest-growing areas in the State. It has a young, vibrant population, yet because of years of bad planning and misrepresentation, the quality of life for many of the constituents is relatively poor.

Among the specific issues targeted by cllr Gallagher were traffic gridlock and delays on the M50 motorway.
