Information Age Town ProjectChairman of Castlebar Information Age Town Committee This is one of my proudest achievements to date, under my chairmanship my committee and I, succeeded in securing £1 million pounds of investment for Castlebars future. My work rate & commitment to this project was total, and the complete and total support of every man woman and child in our town contributed to this. This is a perfect example of what can be achieved; if everybody involved is committed and all pulling in the same direction. Castlebar can be justifiably proud of the fact that we fought off competition from over 56 towns in Ireland, some much bigger than us and with more resources to draw on. Well done Castlebar.

Castlebar Chamber of CommerceOfficer of the Castlebar Chamber of Commerce I have been heavily involved in the Castlebar Chamber of Commerce for a number of years now, I am now an officer on the executive Council of the chamber, and I am committed to both the Chambers development and the towns economic and social well being. The chamber has undergone enormous change in the recent past; it is now a younger and more vibrant organisation working much closer with the rest of the community in Castlebar. The Chamber has done a lot for the town with my committee, the tidy towns committee and the tourism action committee to name but a few. Click here to find out more about the chambers good work. |
Business WatchChairman of Castlebar Business Watch I was also instrumental in forming Castlebar Business watch, in association with the Chamber of commerce and the Local Gardai Siochanna. This is very like the neighbourhood watch scheme’s that you may be familiar with, except it is designed for business. This helps with the safety of customers and business people alike. It helps to identify potential weaknesses in security, prevention fraud, and cuts down on the possibility of robberies. This is an example of a proactive organisation instead of a reactive one. I am committed to eliminating threats to our town’s people and to its business’s. Together we can combat all types of crime and make our town a safer place. Click here to find out more. |

Residents AssociationChairman of the Town Centre Residents Association I live over the shop on the main street in Castlebar, and as you can appreciate it can be a lot rowdier than living in one the towns many estates. I was instrumental in setting up the town centre residents association to represent the views of the people who actually live in the town centre. We have made representations to the local authorities and the Gardai Siochanna on many issues and with some success. As a result of this I am familiar with concerns regarding residential issues, and these are common to all residents in our town. Click here to find out more about residential matters |
