Galway West: Fianna Fáil's young Cillian Keane wooing voters for transfers

Political Correspondent Louise Burne joined the youngest candidate in Friday's by-election as he put in the work on the doorsteps

While a recent poll says Fianna Fáil's Cillian Keane has just 8% support in Galway West, he is mindful that the same pollsters gave John Connolly a 7% rating before the general election and he won a seat. Picture: Facebook

“I don’t know whether he is selling you as a prospective husband for my daughter, or a candidate,” Tina told Fianna Fáil’s Cillian Keane as he ran up the driveway of her Galway home.

Fianna Fáil senator Ollie Crowe was on the hard sell, telling residents on the Menlo Rd all about the party’s 25-year-old candidate in the Galway West by-election.
