Charlie McConawhonow?
McConalogue was born in October 1977 and is from Gleneely in Co Donegal.
From a farming background, he was educated at Carndonagh Community School before going on to study at UCD where he studied Economics, Politics and History.
Mr McConalogue became involved in politics in UCD.
After working in Fianna Fáil’s headquarters for a number of years, as well as working abroad in Australia, he returned home to work on the family farm in Donegal.
In 2009, he ran for political office when he was elected to Donegal County Council. He was elected a TD for Donegal North East in 2011.

Flip flopper.
Single use Mask by Eamonn “rees mogg” Ryan ?
riddle me that.
What is it they say speaks louder than words ?
Just what I was thinking.
Why is Eamon one of the very few not to be wearing a reusable mask?
It’s made from hemp
His good one is in the wash.
Kinda petty but sure that’s the world we live in now.
You can’t scratch your behind but someone is telling you that you’re using the wrong finger …
I know I probably shouldn’t have
But I did
Didn’t even have a mask on to trap the gooey spittle
It’s the government who created this environment. It’s only natural to point out their hypocrisy and the ridiculousness of it all.
Martin definitely isn’t bothered with observing social distancing guidelines in that first picture.
Michéal Martin appoints new candidate for Former Agriculture Minister.
To be renamed; The Andy Warhol Chair of Agriculture.
…fairplay to Mehole…all the FFers should get their feet under the Cabinet Table before he has to hand over to the third place blueshirts…a masterclass in gombeenism…
Jaysus! He was born the same month & year as I started college!
ok, boomer
I hope Niall Collins has a driver, sliders are not suitable footwear for driving and you can be fined in the UK for wearing them while driving.
