North Longford local election battle lines drawn as Fine Gael launch four-pronged candidate strategy
Kilbride and Murtagh join Carrigy and Brady on Granard Municipal District ticket
Sitting Councillors Micheal Carrigy and Pauric Brady were joined by former colleague Frank Kilbride and LCRL's Gary Murtagh at a well attended selection convention at Colmcille Community Centre last night (Sunday).
There had been talk of a contest being held beforehand with rumours that a fifth candidate from the Granard area was also looking to add their name to the party ticket.
As it transpired however, no vote was taken with the party opting to add Mr Kilbride's and Mr Murtagh's names to those of outgoing councillors Micheal Carrigy and Pauric Brady.
