Fianna Fáil confirms the addition of Alison Comyn to the ticket for the Louth Constituency for the next general election. She will join Senator Erin McGreehan on the ticket.
Alison is deeply-rooted in her community of Drogheda and South Louth.
She has over 30 years’ experience in media, as a television and print journalist, broadcaster, and news anchor, presenting numerous current affairs and entertainment programmes.
Alison has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to public service and community throughout her career and will make an excellent addition to the Louth Fianna Fáil ticket.
“I was born, raised and educated in Drogheda, and as a local journalist for almost 20 years, I know the issues that affect our daily lives, and I’m deeply connected to the heartbeat of our town and region,” Alison said.
“I know the stories, struggles, and successes that have shaped our community because I live in the region and experience them myself, meaning I’m not just a candidate, but a neighbour who is invested in the future of our region.
“The Drogheda area has faced serious challenges in recent years - and we’re not out of the woods yet - but I honestly believe it can be a thriving, vibrant community where everyone can flourish.
“I would like to thank Fianna Fáil for this opportunity to contest the next election, and I look forward to bringing a positive new dawn for Drogheda and Co Louth.”
An Tánaiste and Uachtarán Fianna Fáil, Micheál Martin said: "Alison is an excellent addition to our Fianna Fáil ticket in Louth. She is a very accomplished candidate, who will bring a wealth of experience to the campaign.
"In Erin and Alison we have a strong Fianna Fáil team in Louth that will work together in running a positive and energetic campaign in their communities."
