Spanish Point Councillor Michael Hillary Steps Down From Local Election Bid

Spanish Point Councillor Michael Hillery has announced he will not be running in next year’s local elections.

The long-time Fianna Fáil representative made the announcement at the party’s selection convention for the North Clare election area this afternoon.

The re-drawing of boundaries for next years vote, which sees the return of an electoral area for North Clare, sees its boundary with West Clare come very close to Councillor Hillery’s base in Spanish Point.
