“I believe we have much potential as yet untapped in our local area. I feel it is of utmost importance that we develop in a sustainable way which focuses on quality of life for us all. An integral part of this is providing affordable, reliable transport and infrastructure. I want to work to help develop our towns with sustainable jobs and sustainable growth for our future, whilst conserving and celebrating our heritage.

"I am passionate about social justice and equality and feel we have a progressive outlook here in Newbridge. I would like to be the voice to represent you and your concerns. Local government policy affects us all and has a great impact on our daily lives. Your opinion matters, so make your voice heard. We can make a difference.

"Unfortunately, for the third consecutive election, Kilcullen finds itself in yet another electoral area, it’s time that Kilcullen had its own local councillor, and with your support, I can make this happen.”


Please feel free to contact Ciara with any issues or suggestions you may have affecting our community. A local community advice clinic shall be held in Kilcullen over the coming weeks, watch out for details.
