Left Seat to be won in Sligo/Leitrim North

category sligo | politics / elections | news report author Tuesday April 03, 2007 13:06author by Paul Walsh - None Report this post to the editors

MacManus to take third seat according to poll

Sligo Weekender release opinion poll for the Sligo - Leitrim north constituency which shows SF winning the third seat

Looks like there could be a Left seat won in the Sligo/North Leitrim constituency following latest opinion poll

http://examiner.ie/irishexaminer/pages/story.aspx-qqqg=...1.asp

http://oceanfm.ie/onair/sligoleitrimnews.php?articleid=...01268

Devins FF 24%
Perry FG 18%
Mc Manus SF 14%
Scanlon FF 12%
Comiskey FG 11%
Andy McSharry Ind 8%
Mc Garry Lab 7%
Henry FG 6%

The poll shows that MacManus is also picking up transfers (particularly from McGarry and McSharry) - enough that he would be elected on the sixth count. This would be a shock for both FF and FG but it does show that if the left get their act together and get behind MacManus this seat is there to be won.
