| Description | The youth wing of Fine Gael has written to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar calling for the party to stand candidates in the upcoming general election in Northern Ireland, and to take seats in Westminster if elected.
Killian Foley-Walsh, president of Young Fine Gael (YFG), wrote to Mr Varadkar in recent days stating the youth wing was “strongly of the view that the party should contest the upcoming election”.
The British general election is due to take place next month on December 12th.
Mr Foley-Walsh’s letter asked if Fine Gael had any plans to stand candidates in the upcoming election, and “whether our candidates will be committed to taking their seats in Westminster if elected?”
He told Mr Varadkar - himself a former student activist with YFG - “we hope that the answer to both questions will be positive”. |
