Fianna Fáil has announced the appointment of Minister Jack Chambers as the new deputy leader of the party.
Tánaiste and Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin confirmed the appointment at a media briefing at Leinster House this Wednesday evening.
Commenting on the appointment, he said: "I am delighted to appoint Jack Chambers to the role of Deputy Leader of the Fianna Fáil party. He has served as a very effective councillor, TD and now as member of the government at cabinet."
Deputy Chambers succeeds Dara Calleary who resigned from the role in August 2020.
Speaking at Leinster House, Mr Martin stated: "Since we entered Government, he (Jack Chambers) has been working exceptionally hard – in his roles as Government Chief Whip, Minister of State for Sport and The Gaeltacht, and in his current role as Minister of State at the Department of Transport and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications."
"Jack was very impressive in the capacity of the Fianna Fáil Director of Local Elections for the party. He impressed many with his commitment and organisational skills and helped to secure 248 council seats across the country, making Fianna Fáil the largest party in Local Government for the third consecutive term."
