Dear Voter, I have once again been selected as your candidate in the Letterkenny Municipal District for the Donegal County Council elections on Friday, June 7th. In my 25 years as your public representative, I have played a significant role in securing major projects for Letterkenny and its surrounding areas. Letterkenny is now the economic centre of the North West and continues to be a great place to live, work, shop and invest. It also offers a good quality of life. Since first elected in 1999, I have worked tirelessly for the people of the area and I am extremely proud of my record on Donegal County Council. I am fully committed to securing funding for projects that will improve your area. Maintaining the high quality of services provided by Donegal County Council remains the biggest challenge for Letterkenny and its environs.
I will continue to be the strong voice our area needs to secure the adequate resources and services required.
I am once again asking you to place your trust in me and give me your No. 1 vote.
