Leitrim Councillor unhappy that Irish Diaspora have been excluded from Presidential Election

A Leitrim Councillor says a golden opportunity has been missed to change the legislation which would allow the Irish diaspora to vote in this year's Presidential Election. Kinlough based Councillor Justin Warnock has expressed his frustration that no referendum was held to allow such moves to take placeThe Fianna Fáil Councillor says a referendum was promised by previous government administrations, to allow our diaspora to vote in the Presidential Elections. He says the county is turning its back on a generation of people that had to emigrate but yet continued to support their native areas the best they could.
