First meeting of Fianna Fáil North 18.10.07

THE inaugural meeting has taken place of the committee tasked with setting Fianna Fáil up in the North.

Donegal North East Niall Blaney who is a member of the 15-strong Fianna Fail Northern Ireland Strategy Committee and the only representative from the North West. “Last night’s meeting was very informal but I am hopeful that this is the start of something very historic for the party," he said. “Our focus within the committee will be on consultation within the party.
We are very much at the early stages of this process, and we will be careful to listen to all view points expressed by our members throughout. “Currently, the committee does not feature any representative from the North but it is likely that the role of the committee will evolve with time and discussion, and we expect that there will be involvement from a Northern representative with time,” he added.
