After the general election was called on Friday, Shannonside FM is hosting debates over the next three weeks with election candidates.
Today, on Let's Talk, we focused on the Sligo-Leitrim constituency, which includes all of counties Sligo and Leitrim and a population of around 9,400 people in south Donegal, including Ballyshannon and Bundoran.
There are 14 declared candidates so far – four in Leitrim and 10 in Sligo. Today, we hosted a debate with five of them, and debates with the remaining candidates will be held over the next two weeks.
The candidates in today’s debate were: Councillor Nessa Cosgrove of the Labour Party; Blaithin Gallagher of the Green Party; Deputy Martin Kenny of Sinn Fein; Cllr Edel McSharry of Fianna Fáil; and Graham Monaghan of Aontu.
