Can the Left be revived in Sligo/Leitrim

category sligo | politics / elections | other press author Thursday December 14, 2006 12:52author by Pat E. Report this post to the editors

TG4 MRBI Poll indicates collapse of left in Sligo.

The latest TG4 MRBI Poll for the Sligo/North Leitrim constituency gives Sinn Fein 6% and Labour 5% of the first preference vote - and the bulk of Harkin’s second preference transfers go to FF and FG.

Can the left be revived in Sligo/Leitrim? Has Joe Higgins got an organisation there?

MRBI POLL FIRST PREFERENCES

M. Comiskey (Fine Gael) 10%
J. Devins (Fianna Fail) 21%
I. Henry (Fine Gael) 4%
M. Harkin (Independent) 14%
S. MacManus (Sinn Fein) 6%
J. McGarry (Labour) 5%
J. Perry (Fine Gael) 26%
E Scanlon (Fianna Fail) 14%
