O’Flynn tops the poll in election to Fianna Fáil governing body

IN a recent election for the Fianna Fáil Ard Chomhairle, Cork based Councillor Kenneth O’Flynn topped the poll in Munster and received the most votes of any councillor nationally.

Running for the Munster Councillor’s Representative, O’Flynn put in a hard fought and very professional campaign to get elected to his Party’s governing body. After a phone and letter writing campaign which impressed many Munster councillors many of whom normally are unaware of the position even existed, O’Flynn reaped the rewards of his hard work and was elected.

Speaking about his election the Cork based Councillor said, “I am delighted that I got elected. I am delighted to have the opportunity to reflect the interests of Councillors in Munster. It is a huge honour to serve on the highest body of the Fianna Fáil Party and one that gives me a great sense of pride as a lifelong member of the Party.”

The Fianna Fáil Ard Chomhairle is the governing body of the Fianna Fáil organisation. It is chaired by An Uachtaráin Fianna Fáil, Brian Cowen and has members representing each Dáil constituency in the country, members of Ógra Fianna Fáil, 20 people from across the island of Ireland who were elected at the Party’s Ard Fhéis and four councillors from each of the provinces.”
