Shannon Councillor Tony Mulcahy has been selected as the third Fine Gael candidate to run in Clare in the forthcoming election.
The decision was made at the Fine Gael National Executive is meeting in Dublin where he beat off competition from Ennistymon Councilor Martin Conway and former T.D and Senator Madeline Taylor Quinn to grab the third slot on the ballot paper.
The party has already selected sitting TDs Pat Breen and Joe Carey to contest the general election later this year.
