Tedstone seeks Buncrana seat 01.04.09
Fine Gael adds fourth
candidate to Town Council team
FINE GAEL'S ambitious Inishowen local elections team
was completed at the weekend with the addition of
Lee Tedstone to the party’s Buncrana Town Council
ticket. Lee (30) lives at Railway Road, Buncrana,
and is a prominent young Donegal businessman and MD
of Nvolve Ltd, a technology and software design
company based in Letterkenny. Lee’s late father
George was a popular and active member of Buncrana
Town Council in the 1980s.
Lee joins Cllr Paul Bradley, Cllr Peter McLaughlin,
and Ms Michelle ‘Waudge’ Bradley on a ticket that
the party hopes will secure “at least three seats”
at the June Buncrana elections. Fine Gael narrowly
lost its third Buncrana Town Council seat in 2004. |

“Buncrana is a great
town with great commercial potential that has never
been realised. This potential can be realised if an
invigorated and renewed Town Council leads a
collaborative reforming agenda with the other
important Buncrana organisations. Buncrana Town
Council, Buncrana Chamber of Commerce, and Buncrana
Traders Association must come together to set out
and pursue necessary commercial and social goals,”
Lee told the Inishowen Independent.
“If elected to Buncrana Town Council I will push for
this collaboration, which must involve everyone in
our local community. |
An annual Buncrana
Awards initiative is one thing that could renew the
civic spirit in our town. With a renewed civic
spirit, our town will be better equipped to face
coming challenges,” he said.
“I strongly support the political alternatives that
are currently being advanced by Fine Gael, and I am
enthused by the new vitality that exists in Donegal
North-East Fine Gael. Joe McHugh is a true champion
of our area, with new ideas, and with a genuine
belief in what he says and does in Dáil Éireann. He
gives leadership to a strong team of local
representatives,” said Mr. Tedstone.
Peter McLaughlin invited Lee into Fine Gael and
encouraged him to put his name forward for election
to Buncrana Town Council
“Lee Tedstone is an excellent addition to the
Buncrana Fine Gael ticket,” said John Diver, Fine
Gael’s Inishowen Director of Elections. “He joins
Paul, Peter, and Michelle, on what is a very
ambitious and challenging ticket. We hope to win at
least three Town Council seats. Lee is a member of a
popular Buncrana family and is a talented and
impressive young man in his own right. He will work
closely with Cllr Paul Bradley, Ms Michelle Bradley,
and Cllr Peter McLaughlin on the Town Council
campaign. Lee will also be an important member of
John Ryan’s Inishowen County Council election
campaign team.” (Inishowen
