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.
Galway East TD Anne Rabbitte has been given her own constituency along with Galway West, Mayo, Roscommon-Galway and Sligo. Mr Dorgan’s letter outlines that the divide means that the party will be asking supporters in the area allocated to Ms Rabbitte to vote number 1 for her and number 2 for Mr Smith - and vice versa in the area allocated to Mr Smith.
Ahead of the 2019 poll, Fianna Fáil’s directors of the elections have asked members, local election candidates and public representatives to implement the new strategy and "campaign accordingly" in a bid to maximise the party’s vote.
