Seán Kyne
Seán Kyne (born May 1975) is an Irish Fine Gael politician. He was elected as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway West constituency in the 2011 general election.
Political Career[edit]
At the 2004 local elections he was elected to Galway County Council for the Connemara electoral area. He was re-elected to the County Council in 2009, having unsuccessfully contested Galway West at the 2007 general election. He was also unsuccessful in the 2007 election to the 23rd Seanad, when he stood on the Agricultural Panel. His election in Galway West was the last result to be declared in the 2011 general election. When the result showed victory for Kyne over the independent candidate Catherine Connolly by a margin of 17 votes, she sought a full recount, which concluded after a total of four days of counting but did not change the outcome. His victory gave Fine Gael two seats in Galway West for the first time since 1982.
Education[edit]
He attended St Mary's College, Galway, National University of Ireland, Galway and University College Dublin, where he studied Agricultural science.
