Clare’s Senator is paying tribute to the contribution his party colleague Pat Breen made to this county, following the Junior Minister’s decision to retire.
The Ballynacally Deputy lost his seat at this year’s General Election, having served as a TD for Clare for the past 18 years.
He has been a public representative since 1999, when first elected to Clare County Council, and since 2017 has served as a Junior Minister at the Department of Jobs.
In a statement issued yesterday, Deputy Breen said he will continue to serve in his ministerial role until a new government is formed and Ennistymon Senator Martin Conway says he made a mark on this county:
Clarecastle Fine Gael TD Joe Carey, meanwhile, has also paid tribute to Deputy Breen.
In a statement to mark the retirement, Deputy Carey says Pat Breen was “the flag bearer for Fine Gael in County Clare for so long” and wishes him health and happiness in his retirement.
