FG to meet in East Cork

The Fine Gael party will be meeting next month in East Cork ahead of the Dáil and Seanad’s return after the summer break.

The party’s think-in will be attended by all Fine Gael TDs and senators, in addition to the recently elected MEPs.

Cork East Fine Gael TD and Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality David Stanton has welcomed the decision and said: “I look forward to welcoming my parliamentary party colleagues to beautiful East Cork. I hope that many of them might take the opportunity to spend a bit of time in the area and visit local sights in Youghal, Midleton, Carrigtwohill and Cobh, as well as the magnificent coastline and countryside.”

The meeting is planned for 12-13 September.

“The fact that the Garryvoe Hotel and its sister hotel the Bayview Hotel have been chosen by the Fine Gael parliamentary party to hold its think-in is testament to the high standards of accommodation in the Cork area and the efforts made by the hospitality sector to support and enhance the growth of East Cork tourism. I am confident that my colleagues will be impressed and that the event will be a great success,” concluded Minister Stanton.
