I count 74. Is this a record low no of candidates for FF since the 1930s?
Up to 75 now, with the Cork NW selections added in
Sorry Michael, you’re absolutely correct, I missed out on John Cregan pulling out of Limerick campaign!
would you be able to put all the candidates togather so we could see FF FG LAB IND in one place
Probably after the closing date for candidate nominations/withdrawals has passed and if I can get the time!
