Sinn Féin to host public meeting in Cavan

 

Cavan is to host one of several Sinn Féin-organised public meetings, with the party hoping to pile pressure on their political opponents as the impasse over what shape the next government will take continues.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has announced plans for the series meetings last week, starting in the Cork South Central constituency where Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin is a TD.

The meetings, Sinn Féin claim, is to rally public support for Sinn Féin’s efforts to get into government.

“Over the next fortnight, meetings are planned for Dublin, Galway, Cavan and Newry, but with the first taking place in Cork on Monday night (February 24).”

The Cavan event will take place Monday, March 2 at Cavan Town's Kilmore Hotel.

“It is now emerging is that there will be a clear choice to be made - on the one hand for a government of change or on the other hand, the carve up of power again between the two old parties of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and I know which of those the people want,” said Ms McDonald.
