Retired farmer Joseph Duffy from Co Monaghan has put is name forward in the upcoming General Election.
The independent candidate is from Stranooden, Co Monaghan and has previously contested the General Election locally.
He previously ran for General Election without success in 1989, 1997, 2011, and 2020. The local man has contested the local elections in the Ballybay-Clones Municipal District area in 2014.
In 2020 when he contested the last General Election the single biggest campaign issue for him was the Referendum result, which saw a repeal of the Eighth Amendment, adding that he was dead against abortion. He is also strongly of the belief that there should be “zero tolerance” and minimum sentences for crimes such as domestic violence, rape and murder.
