Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh said Sinn Féin's list of candidates for the Seanad elections come from across the four provinces of Ireland.

“We will use the Seanad as a platform to put forward Sinn Féin’s policies, including protecting our most vulnerable citizens, introducing a fair tax system and investing in high-quality public services with a priority of solving the crises in our health and housing services,” the Sinn Féin Chief Whip said.

“We will also push for proper reform of the Seanad, including the introduction of universal voting rights.”

He said that the candidates are all Sinn Féin activists in their own communities who are “highly capable and will make great senators”.
