John Finucane paid tribute to his father Pat Finucane, a solicitor who was murdered during the Troubles. 'I can't help but think of my father and where we have come from, not just as a family but as a society as well,' he said.

“I can’t help but think of my father and where we have come from, not just as a family but as a society as well,” he said Sinn Féin had put poured significant effort into the constituency, with some campaigners coming from as far as Cork to back Finucane. “I think it’s clear the demography wasn’t there,” she said. “The pan-nationalist front has come to fruition again.”Hanna, who was tipped to win after Sinn Féin pulled out from contesting the seat, campaigned as a strong Remain voice in Westminster.
