She was one of three in contention at a selection convention last night and was the successful candidate ahead of Sadbh O’ Neill and founder of Kilkenny Young Greens Sean Dalton Gordon.
A special meeting of the council will be held on Monday next at 5pm at which Maria will be formally co-opted once she has been ratified this week by the national executive of the Green party.
