Andrea Dalton will take the seat left vacant by Ann after she resigned to focus on her work as a school principal.
Andrea who’s a Senior Community Worker with St Catherine’s Centre in Carlow will be op-opted onto the council at Octobers meeting of the local authority.
Senator Jennifer Murnane O Connor says Andrea will have to hit the ground running but that will be no problem to her.
