All About Me
I am hard
working local councillor. I have lived in Rathfarnham with my wife and
family for the past 15 years. I work as an engineer for Eircom based at the
local exchange in Ballyboden.
As a resident and a
person who works in the area I am keenly aware of the issues that affect
the day to day lives of
Ballyboden/Rathfarnham
and
Knocklyon/Templeogue
residents. Over the
past 18 months I have led the way on local issues from sustainable
planning to public transport provision.
I have also
campaigned to defend services at our local hospital in Tallaght. As
chair of the Local Area Committee of the Council I have fought against
what I see as over development in the Planning area and I am fully
supportive of the Councils fight against graffiti,
"I believe
that a councillor is there to defend the community interest and not just
what officialdom believes the community needs. I’m proud to be part of a
Labour team with Eamonn Gilmore, with a real vision for our country,
locally and nationally. Now more than ever our community needs strong,
imaginative leadership. With your support, I’m determined to make that
happen.”
