Coveney marries long-term sweetheart

ONE of Ireland’s most eligible bachelors tied the knot at the weekend when he married his long-term sweetheart.

Fine Gael deputy Simon Coveney married Ruth Furney, an IDA Ireland employee, at a Church ceremony attended by a number of politicians.

Among the gathering were Laois-Offaly TD Olwyn Enright and her TD husband, Joe McHugh, who represents the Donegal North-West constituency.
