Dáil Day One: Politics is a family affair for Cork North West TD Aindrias Moynihan

Politics has always been a family matter for newly elected TD Aindrias Moynihan. Yesterday may have been his first day to take a seat in the Dáil as an elected representative for Cork North West, but he is certainly no stranger to Leinster House.

The son of former Cork North West TD Donal Moynihan, and grandson of Jamie Moynihan who served as a county councillor from 1928 to 1970, Fianna Fáil is certainly in the blood.

“It meant that you walked into it with your eyes open, it was always around, so my eyes were already open to politics when I decided to get into it,” said Mr Moynihan.
