Feighan to seek nomination in the new Sligo/Leitrim/South Donegal Constituency

Fine Gael TD Frank Feighan has confirmed that he will seek a nomination in the new Sligo/Leitrim/South Donegal constituency.

Mr Feighan had argued in a submission to the Electoral Commission for the Sligo-Leitrim constituency to remain unaltered.

“While I’m disappointed to see the area of North Roscommon go from this constituency, I am still confident that I have an excellent chance on being re-elected at the next general election under the new configuration,” he said.

“I have lived here in Sligo town for almost 10 years now where I have established a strong base living on the Strandhill Road with my wife Elaine and our two young children.”

He said he has worked hard across the whole constituency to bring investment, jobs, and improved infrastructure into all areas of Sligo, Leitrim, North Roscommon, and South Donegal.

“Together with the 14 FG councillors we have ensured that this region has got some exceptional investment in roads, tourism, industry, and community projects.

“I look forward to putting my name forward when the Fine Gael general election convention is convened and putting my strong record of investment to the members for their endorsement as a candidate, whenever that election is called.”
