Two new councillors to be co-opted onto Clare County Council
Special meeting will take place just over 24 hours after Clare's newest TDs took their Dáil seats for the first time
Two new councillors will be co-opted onto Clare County Council this Thursday afternoon, following the election of Donna McGettigan and Joe Cooney to Dáil Éireann.
A special meeting of the local authority will take place at Áras Contae on Chláir in Ennis at 3pm to facilitate the co-options.
The meeting will take place just over 24 hours after Clare's newest TDs took their Dáil seats for the first time on Wednesday afternoon.
Following the General Election on November 29, Donna McGettigan of Sinn Fein and Joe Cooney of Fine Gael were both elected on the sixteenth and final count without reaching the quota.
Along with Timmy Dooley and Cathal Crowe, both of Fianna Fail, they will represent Clare in the 34th Dáil, which sat for the first time on Wednesday.
The co-option of the two new members onto Clare County Council will take place just over six months since the local elections which took place in June.
