She was one of the many people the Taoiseach met in the county town this afternoon, as he makes a last minute visit to the county in a bid to help Fine Gael retain their two seats.

Beforehand, speaking on Clare FM’s Morning Focus, Leo Varadkar argued that his government has managed to get the economy to a strong place, as well as securing a deal on Brexit, which he says is important for farmers and the rural economy.

He admits that retaining two seats in Clare is not a certainty, but he hopes their track record will stand to them.

The Fianna Fáil leader, meanwhile, has expressed confidence that his party can gain a seat in Clare in tomorrow’s election.

Also speaking on Clare FM today, Micheál Martin said his party will look to the Greens, Labour and other centre ground politicians to form a Government.

He believes his party has a strong team here in Clare.
