Sinn Féin is looking forward to a general election, having received “solid and strong” support in the Dublin Bay South by-election, Mary Lou McDonald has said.

Arriving at the RDS count Centre, Ms McDonald said the Government parties have been “found out” and the success of the Labour candidate shows this.
