Unaminous choice of the "Fine Gael" party to fill the vacancy on Cork County Council which was created by the re-election of my father "PJ" to Dail Eireann in the general election of 2007. Co-opted to County Council June 2007. Re-elected to County Council June 2009.

Current Vice Chairman of Cork County Councils Western Committee. Member South West Regional Authority. Cork County Development. Isalnds Committe. Inter Islands Agency. Joint County Policing Agency. Appointed Peace Commissioner.

I am also a member of the "Irish Professionals Auctioneers & Valuers Institute", and I also continue to run the family grocery buisness which was started by my late grandfather Jeremiah Sheehan in 1918.
