Deputy Brendan Kenneally with then-TD Ollie Wilkinson before the last general election when the former reclaimed his seat.
Following the past week’s tumultuous events in and around Leinster House, there’s informed speculation that Fianna Fáil top brass will give outgoing Waterford TD Brendan Kenneally his wish for ‘a free run’ in next month’s general election.
Some canvassers are reporting that despite the state of the nation there’s still a staunch pro-FF sentiment in what have always been fertile pastures for the party, and that a hardcore will vote for them “no matter what”. However, others say the recent upheaval within Government Buildings has left even lifelong supporters utterly disillusioned and that many will be switching sides for the very first time.
