											Sinn Féin has officially appointed Luke Meenehan as the new councillor for the Castle district in North Belfast, succeeding Conor Maskey, who has stepped down from his position. The announcement was made during a selection convention held in the area, with the decision pending ratification by the party’s Ard Comhairle.
At the selection event, Meenehan was joined by notable party figures, including North Belfast MLAs Gerry Kelly and Carál Ní Chuilín, as well as North Belfast MP John Finucane. These leaders expressed their confidence in the new councillor, highlighting his commitment to the community and the party’s objectives.
Conor Maskey, who has served as a councillor, expressed gratitude for his time in office and emphasized the importance of continuing the work he started. His tenure included various community initiatives aimed at addressing local issues and enhancing public services.
The selection of Meenehan reflects Sinn Féin’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in local governance and ensure representation that aligns with the party’s values.

The ratification process by the Ard Comhairle is expected to be a formality, paving the way for Meenehan to begin his duties. His selection is part of Sinn Féin’s broader strategy to maintain momentum in local governance and further its agenda in Northern Ireland.
With local elections approaching, the party is keen to solidify its leadership and ensure that constituents feel represented and heard in the decision-making processes that affect their lives. The transition in the Castle district is a crucial step in this ongoing effort.
