#Elections2019: Party focus on Deirdre Clune not a problem, says Andrew Doyle

Fine Gael MEP candidate Andrew Doyle has dismissed suggestions that his party's focus on colleague Deirdre Clune negatively impacted his chances of getting elected.

In the days before the election, senior Fine Gael members were out in force for Ms Clune. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste Simon Coveney accompanied her on a canvass in Cork and several other senior party members were public in their support of the sitting MEP.
