THE Tralee Chamber Alliance has expressed disappointment at Jimmy Deenihan losing his seat at the cabinet table last Friday.

“Tralee Chamber Alliance is disappointed that Jimmy Deenihan has lost his seat at the Cabinet Table,” read a statement from the Alliance.

“However, we look forward to working with him in his new role in the Department of An Taoiseach. Jimmy did an excellent job in his role as Minister for the Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht since taking up the position in 2011, and his leaving statements are an indication of the man – dignified and bearing no resentment.”

“We know that Jimmy will continue to work hard for his constituents and we look forward to continuing our relationship with him,” read the statement.
