New Councillor Co-opted on STCC

South Tipperary's newest County Councillor admits he has a hard task ahead of him to get re-elected.

Killenaule's Michael Cleere was co-opted by the Labour party onto the local authority today in place of Bobby Fitzgerald who resigned from the council some months ago.

Councilor Cleere has just a few months to make an impression on the electorate before facing into the next local elections next May for the combined Tipperary County Council.
