Sinn Fein seeks to capitalise on Heather Humphreys resignation in general election with three-candidate strategy in border constituency

Sinn Féin is focusing on maximizing its representation in Cavan-Monaghan by aiming for three seats, capitalizing on the recent departure of Fine Gael's minister.

Cllr Cathy Bennett, who currently leads the Monaghan Municipal District, is seen as a strong candidate due to her previous successes and support in the party.

The party's local electoral success, increasing from six to eight seats, has fueled its ambitions for the upcoming election, particularly in securing a third seat.

With Brian Stanley's departure to run as an Independent, Sinn Féin faces challenges in Laois, potentially losing a seat while targeting opportunities elsewhere.
