Kelly is general election candidate for Wexford Sinn Féin

Cllr Anthony Kelly, Wexford Sinn Féin candidate for next general election

Wexford Town Borough councillor Anthony Kelly has been chosen to run as Sinn Féin candidate in Wexford in the upcoming General Election.  Cllr Kelly was chosen unopposed at the recent Wexford Sinn Féin selection convention, held at St Joseph’s centre in Bishopswater last Thursday night.

Speaking after his selection, Cllr Kelly said that he felt very proud to be selected as a candidate for Sinn Féin at this imperative moment in Irish politics, and thanked the members of Wexford Sinn Féin for their support. He also stressed his pleasure at seeing so much unity at the selection convention, and his faith in the growing membership of Wexford Sinn Féin to work hard for his campaign.

“It’s not going to be easy,” Cllr Kelly said, “The polls are showing us riding high, but I’ve never paid much attention to them. What matters is action. The Wexford people have the power to take action on Election Day and vote in a new voice. Sinn Féin has presented truly alternative policies to the worn consensus being offered up by Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour. I look forward to bringing these policies to the Wexford people over this campaign. I think they will see that Sinn Féin is now the only opposition party left in this country. It’s time to make the big change Wexford.”
