Tipperary’s newest councillor Mark Fitzgerald says he has fulfilled a life long dream by taking a seat on the local authority.
Yesterday the 27 year old microbiologist was officially co-opted onto the Carrick Municipal District following the passing of long standing Fine Gael representative John Fahy.
