I’ve heard that Thomas Cooney is looking at running for vice president of the IFA.
Cooney has served as the association’s environment and rural affairs chair and his role there comes to an end this year.
IFA rural development chair Joe Brady is another name I’ve heard that could throw his name into the mix, but he is keeping his cards close to his chest on whether he would run for VP or for the top job.
Meanwhile, on a separate election issue, a motion calling for rules and privileges chair Tim Cullinan and secretary Bryan Barry to step down, after an election conflict in Waterford IFA, was withdrawn before national council last week.
