Sinn Féin spokesperson on Education Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire TD has published a motion to compel the Government to properly invest in the education system, … It’s fantastic.“I went to bed two nights ago after seeing the exit poll and I didn’t think I had a chance.“I’m sorry for Kevin [O’Keefe], but as a 22 year-old and someone who only entered politics nine months ago, it’s a huge honour and I’m very grateful to people for that.“I really did focus in on problem areas that were very prevalent in the constituency like public transport really, which was one that [helped] my profile.“Bus Éireann were absolutely overcharging constituents really across East Cork for their bus fares and that was the first big project I focussed in on.“Congestion was another big issue as well and I did a lot of work there trying to change that and road funding.”Meanwhile, Fine Gael took no seat for the first time ever in Waterford as a hard-working Green Party councillor triumphed.Marc O Cathasaigh, a married dad of three, said: “I’m overwhelmed. Sometimes they’ll include recommendations for other related newsletters or services we offer.
Varadkar has ruled out a Fine Gael pact with Sinn Féin, ... and its vote share surged in the 2020 election. And what I think happened was all of those issues came together.“It’s been 17 years of consistent work for me, whether it be in community development first, then in the local authority and then in the Seanad.”The 50 year-old added: “It call came together and I was well-positioned in Mayo then to be the person for change.”Meanwhile, Mayo GAA hero Alan Dillon kept Enda Kenny’s Fine Gael seat, which the party had held stretching back to the former Taoiseach’s dad Henry in the 1960s.Dillon, a former teacher and a quality consultant with pharmaceutical company Allergan, was elected on the seventh count with 10,977 votes at 3.30am on Monday.He said: “I’m thrilled, it’s one of the biggest achievements of my life.“We had a fantastic canvass team and they all played an important part.“We got the backing from the Kennys, Enda and Fionnuala and his brother Henry and wife Maureen.“It’s been a huge honour and a priviledge for the people to give me that trust with over 5,000 first preference votes at the first count and I topped the poll in Castlebar so that was hugely important.“I always knew I was in with a chance then because a lot of our canvasses, even in rural parts of Mayo were strong.“A lot of people were advocating for a change and for a new voice and they saw that I have something, probably new and more energising to offer and they went for that.”Dillon, 37, beat high profile Fianna Fail’s Lisa Chambers, 33, to the fourth seat in the ultra-competitive Mayo constituency.He added: “Lisa’s done very well the past four years as a deputy, she’s had a big portfolio in terms of Brexit, very high-profile, but again, it was Rose Conway-Walsh who probably did the damage there.”Elsewhere, Fianna Fáil’s James O’Connor became one of the youngest TDs in the country when he was elected at the expense of running mate Kevin O’Keeffe who lost his seat in Cork.The 22 year-old said: “It’s hard to believe, it’s amazing.“I think I’m the second youngest to be elected. Fianna Fáil are – just – the largest party on 38 seats, closely followed by Sinn Féin on 37 and Fine Gael on 35. This is YOUR comments community.
