8 April 2015

SINN Fein’s Chris Hazzard has officially registered as a Westminster election candidate for South Down.

Mr. Hazzard submitted his nomination papers to the electoral office in Banbridge accompanied by election agent, Caitríona Ruane.

He said: “As the largest political movement in Ireland, Sinn Féin is offering the people of South Down something that no other candidate is capable of doing.

“As MP I will work in the interests of everyone in South Down, drawing support from our members on the Executive, our other MPs and 29 MLAs, our four MEPs in Europe, three senators and 14 TDs in Dublin, along with 264 councillors, growing membership and support base. 

“South Down badly needs to tap into this momentum — we need to set our economy and our community on a new direction. We need to 

build inclusive partnerships for change.”
