John Carroll to become Fine Gael General Secretary

John Carroll has been selected to become Fine Gael’s next General Secretary.

Mr Carroll was appointed following a recruitment process overseen by executive search firm Amrop.

He will start his new role in mid-September taking over from the current General Secretary Tom Curran, who is retiring.

Mr Carroll said: “I am honoured to take up the position and look forward to building on the work of Tom Curran, who has served the party extremely well.

“I will work with all in the Fine Gael family to help position our party for success in the coming years,” Mr Carroll said.

Tom Curran said his successor is a high-calibre professional and extremely well-qualified for the role.

“I wish John the very best in his new position. It is a privilege to serve as General Secretary of Fine Gael.

“The party, at every level, strives to achieve the best for all Irish people. It has been my honour to work alongside Fine Gael’s volunteers, members, supporters, politicians and staff across the country,” Mr Curran said.
