“It is a great honour and privilege to be unanimously elected by my fellow Senators, TDs and MEPs to be Secretary of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party this evening”, Senator Cathal Byrne has announced.
“My first meeting with our new officers is tomorrow (Thursday) morning and I look forward to tackling the challenges that lie ahead,” he stated.
Senator Byrne lost out on the fourth seat at last November’s General Election and afterwards was chosen by the Fine Gael Party to contest the Seanad election where he was successful.
The 33-year-old from Ballyhogue has served as a member of Wexford County Council and Enniscorthy Municipal District Council since 2019 and was re-elected at last June’s Local Elections, topping the poll with 2,275 first preference votes.
Cllr Byrne served as Cathaoirleach of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council from June, 2021.
