Thank you to everyone who has returned me as a member of the 32nd Dáil. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, everyone who campaigned for me, to my family, my workplace, my council colleagues and everyone who made it possible for me to represent you in our national parliament.  I’m absolutely delighted to have received 7,461 first preference votes on the first count which won me the second seat in the constituency. Thanks so much everyone for all the support shown, I’m honoured and thrilled. Thursday March 3rd was my first day of official duty in Dáil Éireann and I look forward to representing Kildare North with pride, industry and dedication.
