“The party always said that they would be adding to the ticket, and I’m delighted they have put their trust in me.

“It will be a historic election and having spent a good bit of time on the doors already, I know of the hunger for change that is out there.”

The councillor says he is very aware of the many challenges facing Donegal. 

“During my time as a councillor, I have championed my own area and specifically the fishing and coastal communities and farming and tourism industries,” he said. “I now look forward to standing up for Donegal and these communities at a national level.

“This is a move aimed at firmly putting Donegal at the heart of the next government.

“I think my track record on the council over the last decade has been exemplary and I am excited to be given the opportunity to bring that focus and drive to Dáil Eireann and to representing Donegal.”
