One constituency with definite changes ahead

THIS is one constituency where there will definitely be changes of personnel.

For starters, FG stalwarts Maura ‘Cal’ McCarthy and Tadgh O’Donovan have retired. Christy O’Sullivan, who topped the poll as an Independent in 2004 with 2,859 first preferences, later changed allegiance to FF and won a Dáil seat for them at the last outing.

He has passed on the county council baton to his son, Christopher jnr who is expected to be returned as an FF councillor, albeit with maybe a smaller vote than his father got.
