Buncrana man seeks Sinn Féin seat
19.03.09
BUNCRANA man Ciaran
McGuinness will be unveiled tonight as a candidate
to fight for a seat on Buncrana Town Council for
Sinn Féin.
The selection convention will take place this
evening at 7.30pm in the Lake of Shadows Hotel when
Mr McGuinness, 31, will be endorsed to join sitting
town councillors Daren Lalor and Pádraig
MacLochlainn on the ticket. |
Cllr Daren Lalor said:
"Our party members and supporters would be confident
of seat gains on Donegal County Council and Buncrana
Town Council locally. in the 2007 General Election,
our Sinn Féin candidate, Pádraig Mac Lochlainn
received 1700 votes in the Buncrana parish and 1200
votes in the town council area so it is clear that
we have a strong chance of winning another seat.
"We have maintained an advice centre/office in the
town for nearly two years as part of our service |
 |
to those we represent
and we have worked extremely hard on the ground. "At
a time when our community are devastated by job
losses, we are confident that our track record will
speak for itself come election time."
Ciaran McGuinness has been a member of Sinn Féin for
over ten years and has campaigned in both local and
general elections during that time.
He moved to Buncrana with his family from Derry in
1992 and attended Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana, before
joining Fruit of the Loom. Since his redundancy from
Fruit of the Loom, he has worked in a number of
Buncrana and Derry companies as well as embarking on
studies for a degree in International Politics.
