A Cork man with strong links to Newmarket has been elected as an MP in the British general election.
Labour's Damien Egan won in a new constituency, Bristol North East.
He was born in Cork but has lived in Bristol for most of his life.
Great to have our reelected MP for the new constituency of #BristolNorthEast, @damienegan, to introduce our new councillor for #Kingswood, Julie Snelling.
