Fine Gael TD Deasy considers US move as he prepares to depart Dáil

Veteran Fine Gael TD John Deasy is considering working in the US after revealing he will quit the Dáil after the next general election.

The Waterford politician said his role as Ireland’s US envoy has rekindled his interest in US backroom politics area after 18 years as a TD, adding he would “like to do something different before I get too old”.
