This is one of the most prominent senior roles in the administration and organisation of the party
A Kildare TD has been elected National Secretary of the Fianna Fáil Party.
Kildare North deputy, James Lawless, is also the party's Spokesperson on Science and Technology
The secretary's position is one of the most prominent senior roles in the administration and organisation of the party on a national level.
Deputy Lawless says "I am very honoured to be elected to this position within Fianna Fáil. One of my first roles in Fianna Fáil many years ago was as Secretary of my own Cumann in Sallins and I have served as a member of the National Executive of the Party for several years. I am very familiar with the operational oversight and governance work that comes with this role within the Party.
"The role of National Secretary of Fianna Fáil will have many challenges ahead not least the continued work to renewing our policy focus within the organisation and to especially to reconnect with our members after this pandemic."
