Madam, - With reference to Sean MacConnell's report on the Macra na Feirme meeting for the Euro elections (April 7th) and the comment "Ms McGuinness and Ms Doyle, who have not been seen together since the FG convention", I can confirm that both Avril Doyle and Mairead McGuinness spent several hours together at a meeting of Wicklow's Fine Gael local election candidates on Sunday, March 28th, in Wicklow town.
Both Avril and Mairead clearly indicated at this meeting why both would make excellent MEPs for the East constituency. - Yours etc.,
Cllr GEORGE JONES, Chairman, Fine Gael Councillors, Wicklow County Council, Greystones.
