Tánaiste Micheál Martin wants to win a seat in Tipperary South
Tánaiste backs Fianna Fail General Election candidate Cllr Imelda Goldsboro on walkabout in Clonmel and Cahir
While nobody dared to describe it as such, a Saturday afternoon visit to Clonmel and Cahir by Tánaiste Micheál Martin, had all the appearances of a General Election walkabout.
A courteous Micheál Martin, accompanied by Fianna Fáil General Election candidate Cllr Imelda Goldsboro, walked both sides of O’Connell Street in autumnal sunshine meeting people on the street and calling in to chat with business owners and their customers.
SPECULATION
While speculation is mounting among the already declared candidates and their supporters in south Tipperary as to when the election date will be, the visit on Saturday by such a leading political figure, hot on the heels of visits to the county by the Taoiseach Simon Harris and Finance Minister Jack Chambers, had a distinct General Election feel about it.
Forever the diplomat Tánaiste Micheál Martin was not giving anything away outlining his own preference for a 2025 election date while in Clonmel.
