新芬党决定向爱尔兰总统候选人凯瑟琳·康诺利 提供关键支持 Sinn Féin decides pivotal support for Irish presidential candidate Catherine Connolly.

爱尔兰反对党正在等待新芬党决定是支持独立候选人凯瑟琳·康诺利还是推出自己的总统候选人。 Opposition parties in Ireland are awaiting Sinn Féin's decision on whether to back independent candidate Catherine Connolly or field their own presidential candidate. Connolly在劳工、社会民主党和 " 利润前人民 " 的支持下,被视为防止Gael或Fianna Fáil获胜的有力竞争者。 Connolly, supported by Labour, Social Democrats, and People Before Profit, is seen as a strong contender to prevent a Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil win. 选举预计将于 10 月下旬举行，因为工党在支持康诺利方面面临内部分歧，批评者弗格斯·芬利 （Fergus Finlay） 称这一决定是一个“错误”。 The election is expected in late October, as Labour faces internal division over backing Connolly, with critic Fergus Finlay calling the decision a "mistake."
