Sinn Féin have today announced that Councillor Noel Jordan will go forward to stand for the party in the Donegal constituency in the upcoming General Election.
He will be the third candidate put forward by Sinn Féin in the Donegal constituency along with Deputy Pádraig MacLochlainn and Deputy Pearse Doherty.
Noel is a native of Inver and resides in Mountcharles with his wife and two children. He has been a Councillor representing the Donegal LEA for over ten years having been elected on three occasions.
Speaking today, Cllr Jordan said “I am honoured to have been put forward by my party to contest the upcoming general election and take a seat in Dáil Eireann.
“The party always said that they would be adding to the ticket, and I’m delighted they have put their trust in me.”
Councillor Jordan said there is a hunger for change in Government.
“It will be a historic election and having spent a good bit of time on the doors already, I know of the hunger for change that is out there.
“There are many challenges facing Donegal. During my time as a Councillor, I have championed my own area and specifically the fishing and coastal communities and farming and tourism industries. I now look forward to standing up for Donegal and these communities at a national level.
“This is a move aimed at firmly putting Donegal at the heart of the next government.
“I think my track record on the council over the last decade has been exemplary and I am excited to be given the opportunity to bring that focus and drive to Dáil Eireann and to representing Donegal.”
