Cork North Central constituency profile: Variety of candidates hoping to woo voters in diverse area

It is all eyes on Fianna Fáil in Cork North-Central where the party is scrambling to continue its presence in the wake of Billy Kelleher’s departure to Europe. The current Cork North-Central constituency came into being in 1981 and, since, has been dominated by Fianna Fáil.

In its previous guises as Cork Borough, Cork City and Cork City North-West, Fianna Fáil has always been a factor, too, first seeing Seán French elected in 1927. It is, of course, the constituency of Jack Lynch, too.
