Fianna Fáil HQ informs Murphy he won’t be added to party's General Election ticket
Senator Eugene Murphy.
Fianna Fáil HQ has informed Roscommon Senator Eugene Murphy that he won’t be added to the party's General Election ticket in Roscommon-Galway, it has emerged.
Senator Murphy has spoken out publicly about the need to have a Roscommon candidate to run alongside Ballygar’s Dr Martin Daly, who secured the nomination at a recent selection convention.
The Scramogue senator lost the contest by eight votes.
Speaking to the Herald this week ahead of today’s announcement, he said: “I hope they will add a Roscommon candidate. The party needs to recognise that there are 70,000 people in the county".
However, the party have decided on a one party strategy only.
