Consituency Profile: Longford-Westmeath

Against the wider trend, Longford-Westmeath is one area where the Government stronghold is likely to remain.

Fine Gael and Labour stand every chance of retaining their three out of the four seats here, but they need a good day out to ensure that happens.

While Willie Penrose’s performance will be a litmus test for how Labour is doing nationally, given his strong following, he should be okay for a seat.
