Donegal Sinn Fein selection convention taking place later

The Donegal Sinn Fein selection convention is taking place later.

While a three candidate strategy has been tried by the party in the past, it's understood that the intention is to put two forward to contest the upcoming General Election.

As expected, they are sitting TDs, Pearse Doherty and Padraig MacLochlainn.

The convention it's getting underway in the Clanree Hotel in Letterkenny this evening.
