Elaine Houlihan has been elected the next Macra na Feirme Munster vice-president, beating stiff competition from Áine McCarthy.
The total poll cast for Munster vice-president was 62, of which Houlihan secured a majority, with 42 votes cast in her name.
She is currently the chairperson of Limerick Macra and her home club is Kilmallock Macra.
Although she is a qualified physiotherapist, Houlihan currently works for a local TD in Co. Limerick.
She is a former chairperson of her club, Kilmallock Macra, and also sits on the Macra na Feirme National Competitions Committee.
Announcing her candidacy in February, Houlihan said that her main aim is to reboot clubs with a major focus on their members, noting: “Macra clubs across the county are member-led and member-run and [a] one-fix all solution doesn’t work for all clubs.”
