Mayor of Castlebar and Fine Gael town councillor Ger Deere has congratulated the Fine Gael leader, Enda Kenny, for an outstanding 35 years representing the people of Mayo. Mr Kenny was elected to Dáil Éireann on 12 November 1975 when the first ever Mayo West by-election was held. Fine Gael party colleagues in Castlebar Town Council, Cllr Brendan Henaghan, Cllr Eugene McCormack, and Cllr Noreen Heston, also extended congratulations to Deputy Kenny.
“Firstly, both myself and my Fine Gael colleagues would like to congratulate Enda on achieving this historic milestone,” Cllr Deere said. “In fairness, 35 years in any job is a long time and I think it is important to recognise these types of achievements. It has been all too often that the Party Leader has attended events like this for other people but similar achievements also exist within the political system. I know that Enda is always proud of the support he receives from his home constituency, and the milestone reached this week just demonstrates that level of support.”
