FINGAL COUNCILLOR JACK Chambers has been selected to represent Fianna Fáil in the next general election in Dublin West.
Over 400 were in attendance tonight for the vote between Fingal county councillors Jack Chambers and David McGuinness.
Councillor Chambers said, “It is my firm belief that we will recapture the seat held by our late colleague and friend Brian Lenihan. By doing so we will restore strong, constructive representation to the people of Dublin West.”
He also paid tribute to David McGuinness saying, “David and I ran a respectful and professional campaign.
“We treated this process with the seriousness it deserves and I now look forward to working with the entire organisation in this constituency to bring our message to every voter and every community.”

Speaking during his acceptance speech he said, “This government has led the country down a cul de sac.”
Some have expressed surprise at the result:
It comes after a row broke out in the party over the decision to allow nine members to move to the constituency – just days before tonight’s selection.
The decision to allow the nine, known as Hollystown 9, to move to Dublin West was upheld this afternoon.
The nine votes were believed to be enough to determine the outcome of tonight’s nomination and Chambers had sought the reversal of the decision

Good to see
Missing my favourite one though, Garden of Vegan in Ranelagh.
The vegan cafe at yoga hub Camden Place does a great vegan breakfast too.
Food looks nice but the farts must be rank
@kevinhunt101: no more than rancid beefy ones!
@kevinhunt101: meaty farts are way worse
Have to say, the pulled pork bap has me stumped from a vegan context.
@Reuben Gray: haha, yes they prob should have come up with a catchy name for whatever substitute they used-I think it might be jackfruit. Not vegan myself but tried a similar thing in The Happy Pear and it was pretty convincing
@Reuben Gray: The Vegan Butcher is trying to make meaty meals like the name suggests n could please the most carnivorous of meat eaters. As a veggie some of the dishes seemed too meaty at first but so tasty it worked. Its well worth a visit.
Went to sova when he first started a few years ago in the Paris wine bar God the food was amazing.
Shame the rest of ireland has a long way to go to provide meat free alternatives
Nice article, haven’t heard of a few of these
Butter cream dream make ridiculously good cakes, vegan or not they’re just delicious! Moodleys market stall is also definitely worth a try, they’re in bushy park on Saturdays and I think they’re in Park West during the week but couldn’t be sure. Definitely go for the monster burger or breakfast burger, so good!
Vegetarian well Pescatarian here, would love to try the Vegan stuff when out and about but it’s still few and far between.
Looks disgusting
have your say
