As part of our Women's Series on Women in politics Sheila Naughton spoke to Aoife McCooey who is the youngest councillor across both Cavan and Monaghan at present.
She represents the Carrickmacross -Castleblayney MD and is hugely ambitious and dedicated to her area and community.
Councillor McCooey encourages people who are interested to go for it but only if they are committed to remaining in the area and being there for those who elect them.
