Cllr Noel Jordan added to Sinn Féin’s election ticket in Donegal

WITH a date for the forthcoming election set to be confirmed later this week, Sinn Féin in Donegal have announced a third candidate for the Donegal constituency.

Cllr Noel Jordan has been chosen to go forward to stand for the party along with Deputy Pádraig MacLochlainn and Deputy Pearse Doherty.

“I am honoured to have been put forward by my party to contest the upcoming general election and take a seat in Dáil Eireann,” he said.

Cllr Jordan is a native of Inver and resides in Mountcharles with his wife and two children. He has represented the Donegal LEA for over ten years having been elected on three occasions.

“The party always said that they would be adding to the ticket, and I’m delighted they have put their trust in me,” he said.

“It will be a historic election and having spent a good bit of time on the doors already, I know of the hunger for change that is out there.

“There are many challenges facing Donegal. During my time as a councillor, I have championed my own area and specifically the fishing and coastal communities and farming and tourism industries. I now look forward to standing up for Donegal and these communities at a national level.

“This is a move aimed at firmly putting Donegal at the heart of the next government.

“I think my track record on the council over the last decade has been exemplary and I am excited to be given the opportunity to bring that focus and drive to Dáil Éireann and to representing Donegal.”
