Fine Gael TD John Perry has secured court permission to serve notice to his own party.
It was announced yesterday (Wednesday) that Mr Perry was seeking an interlocutory injunction in the High Court to prevent ratification of the Sligo-Leitrim ticket until he can make his case in a full court hearing.
The Ballymote man has been appealing to the party to add him to the ticket since he lost out at the recent convention to fellow Sligo TD Tony McLoughlin, after it was decided there was to be just one candidate from the county.
Mr Justice Paul Gilligan served short notice of the injunction application, returning the matter to Wednesday, December 9.
