My decision to put myself before you for election is born out of a deep frustration at how our city is being held back by the dysfunctionality of local government in Galway.
Right now, critical issues for residents, workers and families in Galway – like transport, housing and efficient local services – are not being tackled. Business opportunities are being lost to the city and expansion plans are stymied because vital infrastructure is not being delivered.
Local councillors do not make all the decisions on infrastructure, but they have a powerful voice and they have a duty to use that voice fully to serve Galway’s needs.
I am not interested in taking a seat for the sake of taking a seat; it is not a personal prize. I want to be elected so that I can effect change for you and for our city.
We need a ‘One Galway’ approach, with everyone singing from the same hymn sheet.
If elected, I will be the voice for unity and collaboration in the council chamber, but also for action. The time for talking and debating is over: we all know what the issues are, it’s time to see change in action.
Galway deserves better from its city council, it deserves change. If elected, I will be that change.
If you put your trust in me, I will not let you down.
Le meas,
