Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill last night addressed candidates at Letterkenny’s Radisson Hotel as Sinn Fein officially launched their local election campaign.
The party will be running the biggest team ever for the elections to Donegal County Council with 18 candidates across the county.
With 19 days to go before the local and European elections on June 7th, hundreds gathered to hear the First Minister give a keynote speech.
European election candidate Chris Mac Manus also gave a speech outlining, among other things, his desire to address rural decline and regional imbalance.
Also in attendance were Deputies Pearse Doherty and Pádraig Mac Lochlainn.
