He was proposed by the outgoing Minister of state, Andrew Doyle, who confirmed that he was not seeking a seat in the Seanad, while outgoing Minister for Health Simon Harris has endorsed the nomination.
Deputy Cullen, who lives in Newtownmountkennedy, was a poll topper in the local elections last year when he secured more than 2,200 votes.
