Greens select last-minute candidate to run in Roscommon in local elections

The Green Party has selected its first and only candidate to run in Co Roscommon in the local elections.

Paul Hester, 30, was confirmed as a candidate last Thursday – only two days before nominations closed.

The Greens currently have no councillor in the Shannonside region.

Hester, an Army reservist, says he is looking forward to running in the Roscommon local electoral area on June 7th.
