If returned to the council, I am pledging to obviously continue with this work, but I want to do
even more. Rural Ireland needs more than just someone who helps gets potholes filled or
roads tarred. We are constantly being told our economy is in a good place, but this rising tide
has not lifted all boats. Our rural towns and villages and businesses here in Nenagh are not
benefitting, to the extent they should, from the current economic well-being of the country.
Maybe we are at full employment, but the jobs and hence the workers are in the wrong place.
If returned, I want to prioritize:
Decentralisation – create office space to allow workers, based elsewhere, to return to work in
high-tech hubs in this area.
Uber Style transport system for rural areas – a stroke of a pen could solve the issue of rural
isolation.
Tourism. – The Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands initiative offers enormous potential to finally
market this area as a significant tourist destination.
Climate Change – at a local level encourage householders to take advantage of the insulation
grants available to retrofit their homes
We live in an area of enormous potential at a time of unprecedented opportunities we need to
make sure that we can take advantage of these.
Before I finish, I would like to thank all those both myself and my canvassing team have met on
doorsteps over the last few weeks for their welcome, support and courtesy. I would like to also
thank all the other candidates for the clean, respectful campaign and wish everyone the best of
luck in the coming days.
