It is indeed a privilege to represent the people of Cork as Councillor in a City that is
emerging since 1979 from a derelict parochial
dirty City to a prosperous European City of Culture 2005.
It is an exciting era seeing Cork develop into a modern industrial culturally
vibrant City. It is particularly gratifying to be apart of this development.
Citizens treat the Role of the Councillor with much importance despite the
sometimes-bad press received.
The Role of the councillor includes
 |
Meeting with Individuals, Residents, Community Associations
and other groups on a variety of issues. |
| |
|
|
Responding to requests of all descriptions. It is very important to keep in touch with constituencies in your ward and beyond, to RESPOND with good or bad news but RESPOND.
