Natasha Brennan is to replace Geraldine McAteer as Sinn Féin’s councillor for Balmoral on Belfast City Council.
The Sinn Féin councillor was first elected in 2014 and said it had been an “honour and a privilege” to represent the Balmoral District Electoral Area (DEA).
“It has been an honour and a privilege to represent the people of this wonderful area and Sinn Féin as an elected representative for nearly 10 years, and I want to thank the people of Balmoral and my party colleagues for their support,” said the former West Belfast Partnership Board CEO and veteran Sinn Féin member.
“I look forward to working alongside Natasha to continue to make Balmoral the best place to live and work to build a new Ireland.”

The Chief Electoral Officer, Dr David Marshall, of the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland announced the new councillor today.
Incoming councillor Natasha Brennan has worked in the community sector in South Belfast for over 12 years.
“I want to pay tribute to Geraldine McAteer for the hard work she has done on the ground in the Balmoral area, working hard for the betterment of all local residents.
“As the incoming councillor, I look forward to meeting residents and groups, and working hard to deliver first-class council services for local communities.”
