O’Malley disputes 'unscientific' poll on PD leadership race

Senator Fiona O'Malley has come out fighting following the release of a new poll which suggests she's unlikely to take over the leadership of the PD's.

The Sunday Tribune’s survey indicated that out of 18 party Councillors questioned - Galway based Senator Ciaran Cannon is favoured by eleven, with only one as yet undecided.

Senator O'Malley has described the poll as unscientific and is hoping support from party members will make up the difference.

Meanwhile Senator Ciaran Cannon also said the party membership will have a significant role in the race.
