Evan Barry (Sinn Féin)
A Kilkenny candidate in the Tipperary North - North West Kilkenny constituency says that he ‘will not give up in fighting for our families, workers and communities in Kilkenny’ despite not securing a seat.
The only Kilkenny-based candidate running in the constituency, Sinn Féin’s Evan Barry was excluded from the race after the sixth count, with 1,515 votes.
He stated that he was running ‘to ensure that the people of Kilkenny have a champion within this newly defined constituency’.
