The recently launched Manifesto from Fianna Fail Donegal South West By Election Candidate Brian Ó Domhnaill.
The seven page Personal Manifesto “Fighting For Your Future” , takes notice of National issues. He writes that he will vote for the forthcoming budget.
“Because I believe we must act to restore the national finances before we can again see jobs and growth I am very clearly saying I will support the proposed multi-year budget plan. This means I will have to support many unpopular choices – but I will not join the other candidates in pretending that these choices can be avoided. ”
And the Fianna Fail Harp Logo makes a comeback appearing on the second page.

From the 2010 Donegal South West By-Election a leaflet for Sinn Fein Candidate Pearse Doherty. It was Dohertys High Court Action that led to the holding of the by-election. In 2007 he came very close to winning a seat polling over 21% of the vote. He was subsequently elected to the Seanad. He is seen as having a great chance of winning the seat at the by-election.
