A Special Message to the New Residents of Lucan
Full-Time Councillor In addition to my role as your Full-Time Local Independent Councillor, I set out below some personal details including other Local Community Work which I have undertaken. I live locally and I am married to Anne. We have two children, Niamh and Sinéad. For eight years I worked as Supervisor of a Local Community Employment Scheme, before being made redundant last year owing to government policy in the cutting back of funding for FÁS Community Employment Schemes, including our own local project in Lucan. I now give of my time fully to my position as Lucan’s Independent Community Councillor. Involved in the heart of the community I have been Peace Commissioner since 1998 and I have also worked for many years with a number of local, voluntary, social, sporting and organisations, some of which work with disadvantaged people, a sample of which I have listed as follows: • Lucan Disability Action Group – working to provide a range of services for disabled people in the Lucan area – I am a Board Member. • Liffey Sound FM – helped successfully pursue the licence for the new Community Radio for Lucan – I am Chairman of the Public Relations Committee. • Chernobyl Children Appeal
(Irl) – Lucan Group – to provide holiday opportunities
for children from the Chernobyl Region and also International Humanitarian
Aid to the people of Belarus – • Special Olympics 2003 – I was Public Relations Officer on the Lucan Host Town Committee for this historic event. • Other Representative Positions
– Representing your needs Over the coming weeks I look forward to the continuing Local Elections Campaign. I will at the same time be endeavouring to maintain my work-rate in tackling the many local issues that I am pursuing in the interest of a better quality of life for Lucan Residents. I will continue this work with consistent and vigorous efforts in representing your needs and the interests of our community on South Dublin County Council. On Election Day, 11th June 2004, I will be depending on your support to allow me to continue with this work for the next five years. You can give me that support by assisting me in my Election Campaign if you can, and by giving me your No. 1 Vote on Election Day. If you favour a Political Party Candidate, I would appreciate your next possible preference. Thank you for taking the time to read and
consider this message. You may wish to keep this document as it
may contain some relevant issues you may like to refer to during
the election campaign. |
On
this web site, I have listed some of the established issues I have
highlighted during the past number of years. Thank you for the support
I have received in endeavouring to resolve many of these matters.
If you are a new Resident to the area I think it appropriate that
I explain to you who I am and that I should also include details
of matters that are important to me:
