Personal Details

Director, Drogheda Partnership Company. “ Drogheda and South Louth is making great progress at present. The town has been chosen as new headquarters of the Department of Social & Family Affairs in the Government’s decentralisation programme. Approval has been given by the Minister of Arts , Tourism and Sport, John O’ Donoghue, for the construction of a new swimming pool and leisure centre.” “ Last September the Drogheda Institute of Further Education opened its doors to students at its new college which cost €7.4m. Transport Minister, Seamus Brennan, recently opened a National Rail Car Services Centre, which cost €42m and is providing 70 jobs. Work is nearing completion on a factory for the Hilton Food Group which will provide another 175 new jobs.” “ The first ever child friendly playground is now open at the Ramparts, Drogheda. More playgrounds will be provided in the future. Over €6m has been invested in the Lourdes Hospital and further expansion of services will take place. Work has just finished on a new €1.1m cancer care unit at the hospital. The much needed extension at Tullyallen School is almost completed.” “ Two new shopping centres are under construction to serve the people of Drogheda and South Louth.” “ There is a busy programme for the future. I will fight to achieve a new Primary School at a greenfield site on the Dublin Road to serve the parish of St. Mary’s, and extensions for Marymount and St. Paul’s Primary Schools. The provision of a site for a new school at Mell will also be a priority.” “ More bring banks and a new re-cycling and amenity centre to encourage people to minimise, re-cycle and re-use.” “ Above all I will work to continue the economic and social development of Drogheda and South Louth. More investment and jobs, better leisure facilities, new schools, extensions to existing schools and better re-cycling facilities.”
