FORMER Fine Gael minister Ivan Yates has given Cllr Mick Finn a chance of the last seat in Cork South Central, following an Irish Examiner poll pitching the Independent candidate on 5% of a 500 sample vote.
Even though Cllr Finn’s name was omitted on the first occasion the Red C polling group carried out the research – and was subsequently added on – a creditable 5% share was achieved.
“It’s a timely snapshot of the constituency so I just have to keep going the way I’m going and hope that I can progress the good work already being done by my excellent team of volunteers,” Cllr Finn said.
“It’s interesting too that the Examiner doesn’t allow for any transfers to me which is contrary to what I’m hearing and perhaps suggest an agenda, but polls don’t win elections,” he added.
Cllr Finn urged people to come out and vote on February 25th. “I am saying to voters- your vote is your voice, don’t lose it!”
