Candidate Debbie Coyle
Sinn Féin have selected 46-year old Debbie Coyle as their candidate to contest the Enniskillen by-election.
She has been a member of the Party for the past two and half years and works in the Sinn Fein Advice Centre in Enniskillen. She is a mother of 7 and grandmother of 2 who was born in London but has been living in Cavanaleck, Enniskillen for the past 12 and half years.
Ms Coyle is employed in Enniskillen as a care assistant in a local Nursing Home. She worked for three years as a volunteer with Cavanaleck Community Association, working mainly with local young people and progressed to paid employment with the Fermanagh Citizens Advice Bureau. She also does voluntary work with Fermanagh Women's Aid, supporting victims of domestic violence.
Commenting on her selection Ms Coyle said:
"It is with great honour and pride that I accept the nomination to fight this by-election for Sinn Fein in Enniskillen.
"I follow a long line of people who have sought a mandate from the people on behalf of Sinn Fein - A mandate for change; A mandate for Irish national self determination and unity; and A mandate for equality.
"Those who know me will know that I first moved to Enniskillen at a time of great personnel distress, that I have made my life in Enniskillen with my young family and how greatly value what Enniskillen has given to me. And I say this, not lightly, I want to give back to the people of Enniskillen what they have given to me.
"The party here locally has faced many challenges in recent times. I am part of the team here in Enniskillen that is not deflected or distracted.
"I continue to work for local people, to listen to local people and to try and help and support people who not get the assistance for elsewhere.
"I am proud to be part of that hard working team and proud to be part of the Sinn Fein fight back here in Enniskillen and across Fermanagh. This fight back is based on partnership with the local community.
"We need to build on that work; to build the party and this election campaign will be a central part of the re-energising of our activists across Fermanagh and a beacon for those wishing to join with us. With hard work I believe that we can achieve great things here in Enniskillen."
