Those predicting her reelection are in for a shock I reckon Harkin at one stage looked like being a successor but has lost support from the greens over her rural housing policies Doherty is reportedly polling strong in parts of Donegal and Sligo but needs constituency wide support to have any chance and doesnt appear to be getting it Historically it isint a Labour constituency but maybe Baxter could pull off enough transfers ?
