Candidate hopes to follow in father's footsteps
A Donegal politician hopes to continue a 36-year unbroken family tradition of serving local constituents in the Dáil.
Councillor Jimmy Harte, who has announced he is running as an independent General Election candidate in Donegal North East, is the son of Paddy Harte who was elected as a Fine Gael TD 11 consecutive times between 1961 and 1997.
