Newly-elected Senator Pauline Tully has vowed to be a strong Sinn Féin voice for the people of Cavan.
Speaking last night after she topped the poll to be elected to the Seanad via the Cultural and Educational panel, Senator Tully said she was absolutely delighted to be elected to the Seanad.
The former TD said she strongly believed that Cavan needs a strong Sinn Féin voice in the Oireachtas to represent them.
Senator Tully said she wants to continue my work for people with disabilities, carers and those working in the education sector.
She said that she wanted to thank everybody who voted for me – all the TDs, councillors and outgoing Senators.
But in particular, the former TD for the area wanted to thank the thousands of people in Cavan and Monaghan who voted for me in November’s General Election.
She added that they came so close to delivering three Sinn Féin TDs for the constituency and she knows that for the thousands of people who voted for us that the return of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to government will be of great disappointment to them.
She say that following her election to the Seanad, this constituency now has three Sinn Féin Oireachtas members who will go toe to toe with the government from day one.
