Together we can make history and improve our community
As your representative for Carrigaline, I will promote access to health services, improved public transport, and a cleaner, greener and more active environment.
Local health services: I will work with Cork County Council and the HSE to improve access and availability of local health services in the community. I will seek to increase services such as physiotherapy, dieticians, Public health provision of daycare facilities for the elderly.
Physical activity and recreation: Keeping active is linked to better health outcomes and improved social connections. I will work to improve playground facilities for children, to promote enhanced access to walking and cycling infrastructure, and to improve other sports & recreation facilities in the Carrigaline area.
Transportation: As new housing developments are being built across the area transport infrastructure needs to keep pace. I will work to improve the availability and reliability of public transport, especially the bus services, including disability and dog friendly buses.
