Fine Gael backroom team: Frank Flannery, Party Advisor and Strategist, Ciaran Conlon, Director of Election Planning and Strategy and Joanne Lonergan, Press Officer.

Fine Gael Director of Policy, Andrew McDowell

And they simply cannot believe their luck.

Is Ciaran Conlon the guy who used to work in Bord na Mona and Dublin Chamber of Commerce? If it’s the same guy I never really liked him.
