Bailieborough News. March 3rd 2016. Matthew J. Cullen.
Congratulations:
Congratulations and well done to local councillor, Niamh Smyth T.D, who on Sunday last was elected to Dail Eireann to represent the Cavan/Monaghan constituency, on her first attempt. Despite being only added to the ticket at the last minute, Niamh and her team did Trojan work canvassing leading up to the election and it all paid off when she won the last seat in the constituency after a nail biting 10th count against outgoing local T.D., Joe O’Reilly. Niamh is the first ever female TD from Cavan to be elected to the Dail and all wish her well in her endeavours.
