Fellow councillors, Senators, TDs and Council officials have been contacting Kfm for the past number of hours, extending best wishes to Cllr. Weld.
A resident of Painstown near Donadea, he thanked his constituents in Donadea, Staplestown, Coill Dubh, Timahoe, Rathcoffey and further afield for electing him since 2004.
