Episode Details

Galway’s Frank Fahy, a seasoned councillor and twice-serving mayor, is launching his bid for a Seanad seat after the unexpected departure of Sean Kyne to the Dáil. With over 15 years in local government, Fahy’s campaign promises to strengthen Fine Gael’s footprint in Galway through permanent offices and community clinics across Oranmore and Connemara. A passionate advocate for the Irish language, he’s already hosted meetings in Irish and even commentated on Irish-language broadcasts — with revitalizing the Gaeltacht and regional development at the heart of his platform. As the nomination process unfolds — and with Laois’s Vivienne Phelan also vying for Fine Gael’s support — this Seanad by-election could reshape representation in Ireland’s upper house, where seats are appointed rather than elected.
