Fianna Fáil’s general secretary has issued a directive for the party’s two European election candidates to carve up the Midlands North West constituency to maximise support in the 24 May poll.
A letter from Seán Dorgan to the party’s grassroots in the constituency, that covers 13 counties, sets out how the constituency should be divided between Anne Rabbitte and Brendan Smith.
Lisa Chambers, Fianna Fáil’s National Director of Elections for Europe, and Thomas Byrne, the Director of Elections for the Midlands North West, have agreed, in unison, to implement the divide.
Galway East TD Anne Rabbitte has been given her own constituency along with:
Galway West
Mayo
Roscommon-Galway
Sligo
Cavan-Monaghan TD Brendan Smith has been given his own constituency along with:
Donegal
Leitrim
Louth
The five remaining Dáil constituencies in the area have been left open for both candidates to harvest votes. These constituencies are
Longford-Westmeath,
Meath East
Meath West
Kildare North
Kildare South
