A Kilkenny city Councillor’s confirmed he’s bidding to contest the next General Election.
David Fitzgerald is to seek nomination from the Fine Gael party to become a candidate.
Initially elected to the county council on his first attempt in 2009, he was waiting for the outcome of the constituency boundary review to make an announcement re taking steps to move to the national stage.
He’s told KCLR News; ‘Following the recent announcement of the new boundary constituencies I believe this is an opportunity for me to represent the people of Carlow / Kilkenny at a national level”.
Cllr Fitzgerald adds “I am applying for a job for which I have served my apprenticeship politically through representing the people of Kilkenny and beyond at all levels. I am known across the community as getting things done. My strength is to turn the talk into reality. I believe politics is about delivery not speeches and actually making a difference in people’s lives through legislation ‘’.
Stay tuned – he’s due on KCLR Live this (Monday) morning.
