THANK YOU
I wish to thank all of the the
people who helped and voted for me in the recent elections. Even though
I didn't manage to get re-elected this time, I am still very grateful
for all your support.
Note: When reading this site, bear in mind that I wasn't re-elected in the recent local elections and am therefore no longer a county councillor.
More Gardaí for Bunclody
We all like to feel safe in our own homes. In fact most people do. Yet for a growing number of people whose homes have been broken into by burglars, home no longer feels like the safe haven it should be.
In recent times the general Bunclody area has once again been singled out as a 'soft target' by criminals intent on breaking into homes and business premises. The fact the Bunclody Garda sub-district is not manned twenty-four / seven by Gardaí is not lost on the criminal fraternity. The high incidence of 'headline crime' over a ten day period in summer 2008 and again in December 2008 where business premises were targeted underlined the vulnerability of the area to this type of crime.
The fact that in one of these incidents an employee was severely beaten by the criminal gang only adds to the general feeling of helplessness in the area.
