SF confident of winning 10 Dáil seats at next election
Sinn Féin's Pat Doherty has said the party is confident of doubling its Dáil representation at the next general election.
The party currently has five TDs, but speaking at its annual think-in ahead of the new Dáil term today, Mr Doherty said the party was confident of winning 10 seats next year.
Sinn Féin is fielding at least 41 candidates in the election, with more selections still to take place.
The party is unveiling many of these candidates to the media today at its gathering in Howth, Co Dublin, with a special website being launched to publicise their respective campaigns.
It is also using the meeting to discuss strategy for the year ahead and tactics for the forthcoming election, as well as the latest developments in the peace process.
Speaking as the meeting got underway this morning, party president Gerry Adams said health would be one of the major issues when voters go to the polls.
He said there was widespread anger that the Government had failed to use Ireland's economic prosperity to fix problems in the health service.
