Dublin South East Sinn Féin re-selected sitting councillor Daithí Doolan as the candidate to contest Dublin’s South East Inner City in the forthcoming local elections in 2009 at their local election convention.

The meeting, which was chaired by Sinn Féin MEP Mary Lou McDonald, was attended by a large number of party members and supporters from the south inner city.

“I would like to thank the local party activists who have again given me the opportunity of representing Sinn Féin in the forthcoming elections. I will continue to work hard for the local community and will be particularly vigilant now that the failed economic policies of the current Government are having such disastrous results on the most vulnerable sections of society.”
