John Perry starts High Court action to reverse Fine Gael's selection result in Sligo/Leitrim

A Fine Gael TD has appeared before the High Court as part of his attempt to stop the party from ratifying election candidates in his constituency.

Former Junior Minister John Perry failed to get on the ticket for Sligo/Leitrim at last month’s selection convention.

He now plans to apply for a temporary injunction while he tries to have the result overturned.

The court has allowed him serve papers on his party at short notice and he is due back before Mr Justice Paul Gilligan next month.
