About Me
I'm a native of Dublin and have lived in Clare for since 1970. I live in Shannon and am married to Breda.
I have worked in the personal advocacy and citizen information fields here in Clare and also in Limerick and Tipperary.
Prior to this I worked in the Clare Supported Employment system helping people find and keep jobs.
I am a graduate of University College Dublin, N.U.I. Maynooth,Sligo I.T. and the National College of Ireland from from whom I earned qualifications in; Business Studies, Career Guidance, Family & Employment Law and Counselling.
Currently I am undertaking a Diploma in Disability Studies with University College Cork.
My Priorities
Housing - One of my chief priorities is addressing the needs of the over 480 people on the housing list in Shannon.
Planning - I believe that the inadequate planning of Shannon in the past, where the opportunity to build a viable traditional town centre was lost to a shopping mall. I will work to fight against other poor planning decisions.
Shannon - Shannon Airport has always been a priority for the Labour Party and the Trade Union Movement & as a long time Trade Unionist I will ensure this fight will continue.
Children - The families of Shannon need affordable childcare and crèche facilities in the Town.
Anti-Social Behaviour - In order to address the rising number of anti-social behaviour incidents in the Town I will advocate for an increase in the number of Gardai involved in Community Policing.
Economy - In these harsh economic times when the weakness of the Irish economy is affecting marginalised groups in society while Government and right-wing groups pursue cuts as the only way to correct the public finances I believe that a strong left-wing voice is necessary.
