THE FIANNA Fail strategy in the Letterkenny Milford area has resulted in two certain seats for Cllr Ciaran Brogan and former Glenswilly GAA man James Pat McDaid.
Brogan hadn’t canvassed in McDaid’s home patch and got just five votes there to allow the 25-year-old a clear run.
And the two are celebrating today as tallies point to both of them being elected.
“It worked well for both of us,” said Cllr Brogan.
“I am delighted with the support I received from across the electoral area.
“I am also delighted for James Pat because he is part of what Fianna Fail is about now and for the future.”
McDaid is now certain to join Brogan in County House in Lifford next month.
“I want to thank all those who voted for me,” he said.
“I am looking forward to Sunday’s count. If Donegal can beat Derry now at Celtic Park it will be a very good weekend indeed.”
