A Chara,
It's an honour to have been selected as a candidate for Limerick City East ahead of the 2024 Local Elections. I’m ambitious for our area ; the place where I grew up, went to primary school and still live today.
It’s one of the youngest and fastest-growing regions in Ireland, and it has so much potential. If elected, I will bring new energy to Limerick City and County Council and ensure you are well represented.
I would love to hear from you directly, to listen to your ideas and concerns, and help in any way I can to enhance and improve your local area.
