The Longford-Westmeath TD was elected by Fine Gael parliamentary party members at their AGM meeting held tonight (Wednesday) in Leinster House. 
Deputy Carrigy said: “I am honoured to have been elected this evening to take on this important role. We are fortunate to have a wealth of new talent among us in Fine Gael alongside the experience many of our parliamentary party members have in public service.

An Tánaiste and Fine Gael party leader, Simon Harris said: “I want to congratulate Micheál on his election as chair of the Fine Gael parliamentary party tonight.
