SF on safe ground as SDLP struggles
CONSTITUENCY PROFILE: NEWRY AND ARMAGH:THIS IS safe electoral territory for Sinn Féin and for Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy.
Seamus Mallon’s retirement in 2005 saw significant proportions of the former SDLP deputy leader’s vote simply transfer to Sinn Féin and Mr Murphy won it easily last time, with a majority of more than 8,000.
