Peter Fitzpatrick TD is expected to be selected to run alongside Fergus O’Dowd
The Fine Gael selection convention for the Louth/East Meath constituency will take place tomorrow night in the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
The party are expected to select two candidates to run in the forthcoming General Election.
Sitting TDs Fergus O’Dowd and Peter Fitzpatrick are expected to be given the nod. Deputy Fitzpatrick had initially withdrawn his name from the running ahead of last month’s original date for the convention but returned to the fold after reportedly receiving assurances from Taoiseach Enda Kenny that only two candidates would be put forward in Louth/East Meath.
It had originally been speculated that a third candidate might be put forward in mid-Louth, with Cllr Dolores Minogue linked to the role.
