Having served as councillor for Cootehill – Bailieborough for the past 10 years. I’ve worked tirelessly on the ground, and I have had the privilege of representing our communities, and together we have made significant strides in as securing funding for our playgrounds and GAA & soccer clubs, improving our roads and footpaths for safety, and advocating for essential services like medical cards and school transport.”
“I am determined to tackle the challenges that remain. We must continue to invest in our local infrastructure, support our community centres, and ensure that every family in Cavan - Monaghan has access to the resources they need to thrive. Together, we can create opportunities for employment, foster a vibrant local economy, and nurture a safe environment for our families.”

“I am committed to representing everyone’s voice, especially women and mothers and continuing the important work she has championed.”
“I cannot do this alone. I need your support, your voice, and your passion for our community. Let us come together to shape a future where Cavan - Monaghan are not just places on a map, but thriving communities filled with hope, possibility, and pride.”
