Mattie McGrath to maintain challenge despite reports Tipperary ballot will take place as planned on Saturday

General Election candidate Mattie McGrath is proceeding with a High Court action aimed at allowing the vote in the Tipperary constituency in this Saturday's general election to proceed.

Lawyers representing the Tipperary politician told Mr Justice Charles Meenan this afternoon that despite various reports in the media that the vote will go ahead on Saturday, Mr McGrath is maintaining his action in the absence of official confirmation that the vote will proceed in the constituency as planned.
