Fine Gael celebrates election triumph
Party members were jubilant after their candidate, Shane McEntee, defeated Fianna Fáil's Shane Cassells by a comfortable margin to retain the seat previously held by former Fine Gael leader John Bruton.
Mr McEntee's victory means Fine Gael retains two TDs in Meath. Damien English is the party's other TD in the five-seater constituency, with the remaining three seats held by Fianna Fáil.
