An Edenderry Councillor will run for a seat, after being selected by Independent Ireland.
One of the country's newest political parties has chosen its candidate to contest the General Election in Offaly.
Edenderry Councillor, Fergus McDonnell, will run for a seat, after being selected by Independent Ireland.
He was recently elected to Offaly County Council on the first count, after he secured more than enough votes to exceed the quota in the Local Elections in June.
Three seats are up for grabs in the Offaly constituency, with it set to be split from Laois once again in the next Dáil term.
In a statement to Midlands 103, Councillor McDonnell says: "I have always believed that politics is about people.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to thrive.
If elected to Dáil Éireann, I will continue to fight for the people of Offaly, ensuring their voices are heard and their interests represented.
I want to create real opportunities for our young people, protect services for the elderly, and ensure that every family in Offaly feels the benefits of a fairer, more prosperous Ireland.
I’ve spent my life serving this community, from working as a school transport driver to managing the North Offaly Community Development Network."
