The Nomination Paper

So I took the official plunge and put myself on the ballot paper last Friday morning in Cork City Hall. I look forward to the 5 June, which is coming up fast. It has been a tremendous adventure so far and a steep learning curve at the doors. Thanks to all who opened their doors and chatted to me.

 I have also sharpened some of my manifesto issues and plan, so have a read of that in the manifesto section of my website. My continued thanks to my team headed up by Cliona Murphy.
