Daly nominated by Athy as a candidate for Fine Gael Convention

At the monthly Athy Fine Gael Branch meeting Cllr Richard Daly was nominated as a candidate for the forthcoming convention for South Kildare.

“I am very honoured to be chosen by Athy branch” said cllr Daly “ I am aware that a General Election could still be a long time away but it is important that the party select a candidate early.

Having been a candidate in the last General election I am familiar with the constituency and the issues affecting the people of South Kildare. Fine Gael have indicated that they intend to run one candidate which means that location will not be the major criteria but coming from an urban area should prove advantageous.

Regardless of the convention, I have been elected to represent the Athy area ,which stretches from Ballymore Eustace to Castledermot, and I intend to continue to do that in my role as County Councillor.

I appreciate the support which the branch have shown me and will work hard to earn it and hope to be successful in the convention” said Cllr Daly
