Councillor James Charity has explained his decision to join Fine Gael after more than 10 years as an independent.
The Corrandulla-based Councillor had announced his resignation in late 2023 ahead of the 2024 local elections.
But he did a u-turn after no appropriate replacement could be found to represent his local area.
Councillor Charity says he got into politics due to lack of representation for Annaghdown/Corrandulla, as well as lack of investment in local infrastructure.
He told John Morley that's since been largely addressed, and the backing of a party would be an advantage going forward.
