The Workers’ Party notes the media coverage surrounding the resignation of Councillor Ted Tynan from Cork City Council and, in the interest of clarity, wishes to issue a correction.
Despite what some publications have reported, Mr. Tynan is not a member of the Workers’ Party. He was elected in 2024 as a non-party candidate¹ and is not listed as a member of any registered political party on Cork City Council’s website².
Jerrica Struthers, named in these reports as being set to be co-opted in Mr. Tynan’s place at the June meeting of Cork City Council, is not and has never been a member of the Workers’ Party, despite being referred to as such.
Our party wishes Mr. Tynan the best for the future, and hopes he has a full recovery from his present illness.
