10th July 2020 - Leo Varadkar, TD
Tánaiste and Fine Gael President Leo Varadkar has today announced the Seanad Spokespersons for the party.
“Fine Gael has a very strong mix of new and experienced Senators. Each one of them has a vital role to play in helping to implement the Programme for Government, and in helping to rebuild our economy and renew our society during and after the Covid-19 emergency. The appointments will run until December 2022 at which point there will be a reshuffle.
“These will be demanding roles, and there will be many difficult times ahead, but I know that Fine Gael’s Senators have already embraced this challenge. Congratulations to our Senators and I wish you all well in your new positions.”
