FG councillors to battle it out for Dáil nomination

A SECOND Fine Gael county councillor has declared that he will be putting his name forward in order to contest the party’s Dáil selection convention in the Cork East constituency.

Councillor Patrick ‘Pa’ O’Driscoll, who is based in Rathcormac, at the northern end of the constituency, has said that he will also seek a nomination.

Last week Councillor Tom Barry, who lives nearby in Killavullen, said he wanted to replace Senator Paul Bradford on the ticket.
