Meet Michael

I have been honoured to serve the people of Cork North West since 1997, and in that time I have worked tirelessly to highlight the concerns of this constituency in Dáil Éireann.

In my first election campaign, I pledged to maintain a full time constituency office if elected, and I have kept that promise since 1997. I have worked to assist and represent the people who put their faith in me. In that time I have learned of the enormous challenges people face, and I have gained the experience and knowledge of how best to assist them.

I have done my very best to voice the issues that affect our constituency, and I have brought these concerns to the highest level of government at every opportunity. I have also campaigned on national issues such as disability services, supports for carers, reducing red tape for small businesses and farmers, the cost of childcare, improved mobile and broadband coverage, and the wider area of supporting and maintaining vital services in rural Ireland.
