FINGAL COUNCILLOR JACK Chambers has been selected to represent Fianna Fáil in the next general election in Dublin West.
Over 400 were in attendance tonight for the vote between Fingal county councillors Jack Chambers and David McGuinness.
Councillor Chambers said, “It is my firm belief that we will recapture the seat held by our late colleague and friend Brian Lenihan. By doing so we will restore strong, constructive representation to the people of Dublin West.”
He also paid tribute to David McGuinness saying, “David and I ran a respectful and professional campaign.
“We treated this process with the seriousness it deserves and I now look forward to working with the entire organisation in this constituency to bring our message to every voter and every community.”

Speaking during his acceptance speech he said, “This government has led the country down a cul de sac.”
Some have expressed surprise at the result:
It comes after a row broke out in the party over the decision to allow nine members to move to the constituency – just days before tonight’s selection.
The decision to allow the nine, known as Hollystown 9, to move to Dublin West was upheld this afternoon.
The nine votes were believed to be enough to determine the outcome of tonight’s nomination and Chambers had sought the reversal of the decision

Eir still doesn’t give Ball Ox about their customers. Thanks, Helen.
@Paul Gorry: she took court action against Eir on behalf of consumers yet it’s her fault their customer service is bad?
@JoeJoe Kilbride: I phoned Eir ( Customer Service) on Monday (after 19 days without broadband) – it had been restored last Thursday. At the time I found it easy to report the fault. I had a bit of a wait which was understandable post storm. I got through straight away on Monday and their operator was extremely polite and offered me a €35 discount which was implemented by the time the call was over.
never heard of her, another bureaucrat on the civil service gravy train no doubt, getting paid fortunes to spin around on their office chairs all day while watching YouTube
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: So you do have an opinion on someone you don’t know. You must have a crystal ball. Perhaps shove it up your hole, that’ll do you good.
@Fliep Flap: He’d have to pull his head out of his hole first
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: you never heard of her doesn’t mean she was doing a great job. She’s been high profile and was a great data protection commissioner. You wouldn’t have read about her on the betting pages.
@BillyBones: well said.
@Fliep Flap: but aside from that she’s still not much use to the public?
I hope she is going back to her previous job as data commissioner because she was great in that.
Is she relevant to John Dixon-Cider?
@Joe Willis: No, the Dixon-Bulmers!
@Joe Willis: Check porn hub joe. I’d recon deffo not.
@Paul Gorry: I beg your pardon
@Joe Willis: Please don’t beg joe. Check porn hub for that one.
Alo Alo Alo who is this.
@Phillip Smyth: Pierre le pew. Alo..
