On the campaign trail

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:15:48 +0000

I am very busy at the moment on the campaign trail for two of my Fine Gael colleagues Tom Neville and Patrick O’Donovan, both of whom are running in the General Election.

They are both young vibrant men who have a very bright future ahead of them in politics and it is my sincere hope that they will be successful come February 26.

The weather has been very inclement over the last week or so – it is certainly the worst weather I have ever canvassed in! But it has been made easier by the kindness of people on the doorstep, offering cups of tea and shelter from Storm Imogen! It is greatly appreciated.

I have noticed a definite difference in the attitude of people on the doorsteps over the last number of weeks compared to when I was canvassing for the Local Elections a couple of years back. People are certainly more positive now and the feedback we are getting is that they want stability going forward.

The air of positivity is refreshing –and my colleagues at Fine Gael hope to keep it going for a further 5 years.

Without a doubt, it has been of huge benefit to Limerick to have two Ministers in the area – Michael Noonan and Jan O’Sullivan – and it is my hope that the two Ministers will go on to continue their good work in the next government.

Positive time for Limerick

I have had the privilege of attending many business events in my capacity as Deputy Mayor since June 2015.
The positive sentiment is clear to see and it is most welcome in Limerick after a very tough few years.
Now, with Uber taking their place in the city centre, and Troy Studios about to open in Castletroy to name but two, Limerick’s future is certainly on the rise.
This is due to a number of factors, of course the economy’s improvement, but also the hard work of our Ministers Noonan and O’Sullivan, organisations such as the IDA, Limerick Council and private business individuals all working together to achieve the best for Limerick.
As a proud Limerick man I am very happy to see our city and county benefit in this way from such positive collaborative efforts. Long may it continue!
