As we are quickly approaching a General Election in the Republic and like with recent elections I will be listing the candidates standing for election across Cork City and County. This post will be updated as candidates announce their intentions
Moving now to the first of the 3 county constituencies. Cork East is a four seat constituency. In 2016 the following were elected:
- Sean Sherlock – Labour
- David Stanton – Fine Gael
- Kevin O’Keeffe – Fianna Fail
- Pat Buckley – Sinn Fein
All four candidates are standing again. This will mean it will be a battle to unseat any of the candidates
