Enniskillen Update
Candidates for the Fermanagh by-election, due to take place on 17th September, have been handing in their nomination papers today and can continue doing so tomorrow. A few new names have entered the fray. Karen McHugh, daughter of the Independent Republican MLA Gerry McHugh is in the race, as is Dr Kumar Kamble, an anaesthetist working at the Erne Hospital. He is standing for Alliance. The SDLP is fielding Rosemary Flanagan, an education adviser who chairs their Enniskillen Branch, whilst Sinn Fein's candidate is care assistant Debbie Coyle. They join the Ulster Unionist Basil Johnston and the DUP candidate Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster who is endeavouring to hold the seat which fell vacant after the death of Nigel Dodds' father Joe. So it's a packed field, even without the TUV.
