That's according the Sligo-Drumcliffe Sinn Féin Cllr Thomas Healy who looks likely to maintain his council seat after the tallies gave him 1438 first preference votes.
Cllr Healy was tight-lipped regarding the suggestion that he could potentially run for Sinn Féin in a general election in the near future.
Cllr Healy says if the opportunity came to represent the party on a national level, he would do it.
