      Outgoing Fine Gael TD John Deasy has been selected as one of the party's two candidates in Waterford. Deasy cut his teeth in the political world as a legislative assistant in the US, working alongside Senator John Heinz and Representative Ronald K. Machtley. The 43-year-old was first elected to the Dáil in 2002, winning re-election in 2007 with over 15 per cent of first preferences. He served as the Fine Gael Deputy Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs until October 2010.
