Cllr. Mary White is a Green Party councillor on Carlow County Council, representing the Borris electoral area. She has been The Green Party's National Spokesperson on the Environment for the last two years. For over a year she has been canvassing to try and win a seat for the Greens in the next General Election in the 5-seat Carlow/Kilkenny constituency. In the Local elections of June 1999 Mary topped the poll in the rural Borris three-seater, becoming the first Green Party representative on Carlow County Council. In the 1997 General Election, Mary stood as a candidate for the Carlow/Kilkenny constituency. In an effort to gain a seat Mary walked over 3,000 miles - the equivalent of walking to Berlin and back!
