Leitrim woman elected to Sinn Féin’s national leadership body
Michelle Brennan Shyabo will represent Leitrim and 13 other counties on Sinn Féin’s Ard Comhairle following the party’s Cuige meeting.
Kinlough woman Michelle Brennan Shyabo has been elected to Sinn Fein’s national leadership body, the Ard Comhairle, following the party’s Cuige meeting in Mullingar.
The Ard Comhairle is Sinn Fein’s national executive and plays a key role in shaping party policy and strategy.
Michelle was elected by members to represent the Midlands-North West constituency area which is made up of 14 counties.
Following her election Michelle was extremely grateful to the members who put their trust in her to represent them at national executive level.
“I am honoured and grateful and would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported me in my ratification for this role on the Ard Comhairle, it really means a lot,” said Michelle.
During the period of her appointment to the Ard Comhairle she intends to be a strong advocate for grassroots voices across the whole Cuige region.
“Our party is strongest when it is grounded in communities, actively listening and standing shoulder to shoulder with them.”
Michelle feels that this is a very exciting time to be taking up this position on the Ard Comhairle to be part of the process and to bring the voices of communities to the table as we move towards a fairer society and a referendum for a United Ireland.
