Sinn Féin 'not advising voters to transfer to FF'

Sinn Féin has called on its supporters not to transfer to other candidates in the Meath East by-election after Fianna Fáil asked for second preferences from the party.

Gerry Adams attempted to undermine their opponent’s electoral plot by branding Fianna Fail part of a cosy political consensus alongside coalition parties Fine Gael and Labour.
