Murphy to be ‘thorn in side’ of the Government

KILDARE North by-election winner Catherine Murphy yesterday pledged to be a thorn in the side of the establishment until the constituency gets the services it needs.

After a conclusive victory over Fianna Fáil’s Áine Brady, Kildare’s first female TD said her elevation to the Dáil would send a very strong message to the Government.

Kildare North is now the only constituency in the country without a Government TD.
