Fianna Fáil has added Mount Temple woman Dympna Cunniffe to the party’s ticket in Westmeath/Longford to contest the next General Election.

She will join Deputy Robert Troy and Deputy Joe Flaherty on the ticket for the constituency.

Dympna is a native of Mount Temple and is a mother of four. She is heavily involved in her community and has a long-standing history of seeking improvements in her local community.

“I am delighted with the addition of Dympna Cunniffe to the ticket in Westmeath/Longford for the forthcoming general election,” Tánaiste and Leader of Fianna Fáil Micheál Martin said.

“Dympna has consistently delivered for her local community in many ways. She is an avid fundraiser, a hard worker, and I have no doubt that she would be an excellent representative in Dáil Éireann if elected.

“Dympna, Deputy Robert Troy, and Deputy Joe Flaherty are three great representatives for constituents in Westmeath/Longford.”

Reflecting on her addition to the ticket Dympna said: “I am honoured to have been added to the ticket here in Westmeath/Longford for the next general election.

“I understand the issues facing our constituents being a mother of four, I know the challenges our young people face.

“I am deeply rooted in my local community, and I want to be the local voice people can rely on. My focus throughout my campaign will be on issues on housing, cost of living, support for SME’s and farmers, and traffic management to name a few,” Cunniffe said.

“If elected to Dáil Éireann, I pledge to be a reliable voice for all my constituents and work tirelessly to deliver for all,” she concluded.
