Sinn Féin names second candidate to run in hotly contested Cork constituency

The move follows a disappointing campaign for Michelle Cowhey Shahid in June when she missed out on a seat in the local election. 

Sinn Féin has announced that it is running a second candidate in the Tánaiste's constituency in Cork.

Local activist Michelle Cowhey Shahid is set to run in the general election alongside sitting Cork TD Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire in Cork South Central.
