I’m not suggesting it, I’m saying it. Quite a contrast.
Brian O’Donnell, a Donegal councillor and defeated Seanad candidate, has just announced on local radio that he has got a Taoiseach’s nomination.
Why this unknown Brian O’Donnell?
Dirty tricks from minister of agriculture M. Coughlin who is in favour with the Taoseach.
She is safeguarding her future election chances by diminishing the popularity and vote of her party colleague Mr.Pat The CopeGallagher.
May backfire on her and Fianna Fail. Donegal,once a stronghold of Fianna Fail,it’s doubtful if they will retain this position in the next election
