Farren: Election Round Up

Speaking as the Assembly election campaign draws to a close the SDLP’s North Antrim Campaign Manager Sean Farren said:

“This has been an excellent campaign as far as the SDLP is concerned. Our two candidates, Declan O’Loan and Orla Black, have brought their canvass to every part of the constituency and have been warmly welcomed on the doorsteps.

“The key messages have been that the SDLP is essential to making the political institutions work and that there are important jobs to be done. Voters want an end to stop-go politics and the beginning of real politics. They don’t want to see the institutions become a battle filed as Peter Robinson suggests.

“Instead they want to see their every day concerns properly dealt with. That is what the SDLP wants also.

“Voters want improvements to the health service, to schools, to roads and above all assured employment opportunities, especially for young people. A vote for the SDLP will ensure that that is what the Assembly does.”
