Dennehy to make comeback bid

A Fianna Fáil councillor who lost his seat on Cork City Council in 2009 is throwing his hat back in the ring in a bid to contest the 2014 local elections.

Fergal Dennehy, the party’s representative in the Togher and Glasheen area, and son of former FF TD John, said he believes the public are ready to give Fianna Fáil candidates another chance.

“The party did make mistakes in government. The party leader has acknowledged that and apologised,” he said.
