MEP SEAN O NEACHTAIN SAYS FIANNA FAIL MUST CHOOSE REPLACEMENT SOON

Date Published: 05-May-2009

North West MEP, Spiddal’s Seán Ó Neachtain says it’s vital that Fianna Fáil chooses another candidate to run in the European elections in June in the constituency.

Last month, MEP Ó Neachtain dramatically dropped out of the race to retain his seat in the next election.

He cited medical reasons for his decision to retire.

Speculation has been mounting as to who may be chosen by Fianna Fáil Headquarters to run in the North West Constituency in his place along with Paschal Mooney.

Speaking in Brussels, MEP O Neachtain says he’s confident Fianna Fáil can keep its seat in the North West.
