Former Clare Senator To Make Political Return In 2024 Local Election

A former Clare Senator and county councillor is set to contest next year's local elections following a seven year absence from politics. 64 Year-Old, Tony Mulcahy was selected alongside John Crowe at Fine Gael's selection convention for the Shannon Muncipal District last night. Mulcahy was first elected as a councillor in 1999 and retained his seat until 2009 while also serving as Mayor, before serving on the Labour panel of Seanad Eireann from 2011 to 2016. The Shannon Electoral Area has not returned more than one Fine Gael Candidate since the ticket of Crowe and Mulcahy in 1999, and the latter says that he believes the success can be repeated.
