New Social Democrat representative

Kildare resident Richard Kelly has been appointed as the Social Democrats Local Area Representative for Newbridge. Mr Kelly said he will be canvassing the town and surrounding areas over the summer.

The Social Democrats' Catherine Murphy is currently a sitting TD in Kildare North.
