A member of the very successful Carlow Tidy Towns committee, Anne works hard to forge and sustain strong links between the committee and schools in the town.

Anne has a track record as a committed and hard working Councillor who represents all members of the community. The provision of quality care for the Elderly, support for the expansion of Carlow I.T and Carlow College and the recognition and promotion of Carlow as a Tourist spot are among her many priorities.

Anne is a member of the twinning committee that organises a very successful student exchange programme and civic links between Carlow and our twin town of Dole in eastern France. The promotion of these links is yet another way of encouraging tourists to visit Carlow and by extension to boost the local economy.

Anne has strong links with the Carlow Associations abroad and considers it essential that the Local Authority would continue to support these associations in every way possible.
