Paul Maskey

PAUL MASKEY, Sinn Féin MLA for West Belfast, has been selected to run for the Westminster seat of West Belfast in the by-election which has been set for June 9th.

Declaring that he was honoured to have been selected, Paul said:

Last year, Gerry Adams, as MP for West Belfast, took the very courageous step to stand for election in County Louth, with the commitment to challenge the economic malaise that the 26 Counties is facing. He was returned there along with 13 other Sinn Féin TDs.

Obviously, if elected I will seek to continue the work that Gerry Adams has carried out on behalf of the people of West Belfast since 1983 when he was first elected.
