Amy Goldsboro who was selected at a Fianna Fáil convention in Mullinahone to be co-opted onto Tipperary County Council to fill the seat formerly held by her mother Senator Imelda Goldsboro
Senator Imelda Goldsboro's 21-year-old daughter has been selected at a convention of Fianna Fáil members from Carrick-on-Suir Local Electoral Area to be co-opted onto Tipperary County Council to fill the council seat held by her mother for 11 years.
This will make the young Ballingarry woman the youngest member of Tipperary County Council, and one of the youngest councillors nationwide.
The Co-Option Convention took place at Knocknagow Community Hall, Mullinahone yesterday night (Friday, March 7).
More than 70 Fianna Fáil members from across the district attended the convention that was contested by Amy Goldsboro and former Carrick-on-Suir councillor Sylvia Cooney-Sheehan.
Kilkenny Fianna Fáil T.D. Peter 'Chap' Cleere chaired the convention with South Tipperary Fianna Fáil PRO Paudie Taylor acting as convention secretary.
After being declared the winner, Amy Goldsboro said; "I would like to thank all the Fianna Fáil members from across the area for their overwhelming support, and I look forward to working very closely with you all very soon".
Senator Imelda Goldsboro thanked the Fianna Fáil members for their strong support through the Local Election, General Election and Seanad Election in recent months and also their support for Amy.
"We are so deeply proud of Amy as a family and are in no doubt she will hit the ground running in representing the people of the Carrick-on-Suir LEA on Tipperary County Council, and both of us are only a phone call away to help out in any way we can".
The convention was also attended by South Tipperary Fianna Fáil Chairperson John Flynn, South Tipperary Fianna Fáil Treasurer Seamus Troy, South Tipperary Fianna Fáil Assistant Secretary Majella Walsh, Fianna Fáil Árd Comhairle member Tim Maher, Cllr Roger Kennedy (Cashel-Tipperary LEA), Cllr Micheál Anglim (Cahir LEA) and Cllr Seán Ryan (Thurles LEA).
