INSIDE POLITICS – Outside the cocoon, inside the cocoon

Seen on Harry McGee

OUTSIDE THE COCOON – I drove down to Connemara from Dublin yesterday to appear as a guest on TG4’s ‘Seacht Lá’. Even when driving through the Irish countryside, you can’t really escape politics. First, there was the road. The N4 extension brings you as far as Tyrrellspass in Co Westmeath now. As you go back onto bockety roads, you can see that ... Continue reading »

Who is Donie Cassidy?

Party: Fianna Fáil

Constituency: Westmeath

Donal (“Donie”) Cassidy (born 15 September 1945) is an Irish businessman and Fianna Fáil politician. He is currently a member of the 23rd Seanad Éireann, elected in the 2007 election. He is a former Teachta Dála, who represented Westmeath from 2002 to 2007.
Cassidy was elected to Dáil Éireann for the constituency of Westmeath at the 2002 election, taking the seat of sitting TD and Government Minister Mary O’Rourke. This created a rift between the two politicians and Cassidy lost his seat to O’Rourke in the 2007 general election when both candidates contested the Longford-Westmeath constituency. The fact that Cassidy lost most of his home base of Castlepollard and North of Westmeath due to the redrafting of the constituency did not help him. On 22 June 2007 Cassidy was nominated by the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to Seanad Éireann and created Leader of the Seanad for the remaining weeks of the 22nd Seanad’s existence. Cassidy was subsequently elected to the Labour Panel in the 2007 Seanad general election. He is currently Leader of the Seanad.
