SF to back Independent candidates in Seanad by-election

Political Correspondent Sinn Féin has decided to back two independents in the forthcoming Seanad by-elections, rather than run its own candidates. The party had already clarified that it was going to support the former Senator, Ian Marshall, in the Agricultural panel - a farmer who comes from a Unionist background. The party says it believes it is important that Northern Ireland has voices in the Oireachtas and that Unionist perspectives are included. Another former Senator, businessman Billy Lawless, will also get Sinn Féin s backing. The party said Mr Lawless, who had been elevated to the Seanad by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny, has a track record in working with the diaspora, the undocumented in the US and in relation to Presidential voting rights - all priorities the party shares.
