Long-serving Wexford Councillor Michael Sheehan joins Independent Ireland
Michael Sheehan, a well-known political figure in County Wexford, has officially joined the Independent Ireland party. This move comes after his long career as a Fianna Fáil councillor representing the New Ross area.
Mr. Sheehan served as a councillor for Fianna Fáil for twenty-five years, from 1999 until 2024. His departure from the party took place shortly before the 2024 General Election, marking a significant change in his political journey.
Independent Ireland is a relatively new political party that has been attracting various local representatives across the country. By joining this group, Mr. Sheehan continues his career outside of the traditional party structures he was associated with for over two decades.
As a local representative, Mr. Sheehan has been a familiar face in Wexford politics for a generation. His decision to switch parties is expected to be a topic of interest for voters in the New Ross area as he begins this new chapter in his public service career.
