The Roscommon People can exclusively reveal that Fine Gael Senator Maura Hopkins is considering not running for the party in the next General Election. Senator Hopkins has had a number of conversations with party HQ over her intentions. Sources have told the Roscommon People that Senator Hopkins has thus far declined to commit to seeking a nomination. Roscommon/Galway constituency is one of only one or two in the country in which a Selection Convention has not yet been held by Fine Gael.
As speculation about Senator Hopkins’ intentions intensified, Fine Gael HQ held talks with former TD Frank Feighan, who had decided to switch his focus to Sligo/Leitrim. Senator Feighan, a controversial figure since the closure of Roscommon A&E, says he has an open mind about running in Roscommon/Galway. Senator Feighan will be included in a mock ballot paper in internal Fine Gael polling over the coming weeks. Speaking to the Roscommon People from Strasbourg, Senator Hopkins said: “I’m considering whether or not to put my name forward. As you know, a convention hasn’t taken place yet. I work very hard in my job (as a senator). That has been my focus. I believe I am honest, committed, informed and competent….I need to consider whether or not to put my name forward”.
