Graduates to fly the flag for FF renewal

Fianna Fáil is continuing its efforts to re-invigorate the party in advance of the local and general elections with the appointment of two more “local area representatives” to Co Cork.

A 22-year-old IT graduate and a 25-year-old politics graduate will be charged with spearheading the “renewal” of the party in the Rochestown and Douglas areas and in the rural parts of Cork South Central.

Brendan Finucane will represent the party in the Rochestown area. He has recently graduated from UCC with an honours degree in Business and Information Systems, and is setting up his own business in the Western Gateway Building. According to Fianna Fáil, at just 22 he’s the youngest area representative in the country.
