Greens win key concession from FF on Senate nomination

THE Green Party has browbeaten a key concession from Fianna Fáil earning the right to nominate a former councillor as one of two new senators.

Galway man Niall O’Brolcháin was endorsed by the National Executive of the party on Saturday as its Seanad candidate.

He will be the only Government nominee for the vacant seat on the Agriculture Panel, all but guaranteeing his ticket to Leinster House.
