Kilteel / Eadestown Notes

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

I was in Kilteel hall the other night for a candidate debate. Good event and pity there aren’t more of them around the constituency. Five of us attended (me, Willie, Tiernach, Paddy Mac and Tony Lawlor) and we all were given an opportunity to introduce ourselves at the outset. There followed a Q & A [...]

Two Mile House updates

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

As per most areas I have prepared a list of items pertaining to Two Mile House and topics of interest there:
Footpath from outer areas into village – To enable residents to walk to school and shops in safety, I would support the provision of footpaths connecting each end of the village (including Dowdingstown Wood) with [...]

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

As ‘Mara’ famously said in May 07, (kickstarting the faltering national campaign), it’s “Showtime, folks!”..
And indeed it is. The posters are up, candidates are formally declared and we’re all at it like hammer and tongs. I crossed two county boundaries today out canvassing and twice had to check which constituency I was in.
Personally I love [...]

Johnstown Manifesto

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

I recently published one for Sallins and here is one for Johnstown.  A reasonably low level update of what I’ve done and what I’d like to do in the particular area:
Good news on Kill school – The tender has completed and a contractor is in the process of being appointed. The new school is expected [...]

Sallins Manifesto

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I have added a general policy page here. This page contains a number of specific local measures I would hope to introduce for Sallins if elected:

Secure a playground within the village perimeter

 

Provide lights or a roundabout at Oldbridge/Osberstown exit

 

Provide 4 way signal controlled junction at Railway Inn / Osberstown Court

 

Promote a secondary school option for [...]
