Fianna Fáil General Election candidate, Linda Gordon Kelleher has welcomed the commitment by Fianna Fáil in its manifesto to restore power and accountability at local level.

Gordon Kelleher has said she is a big advocate for the restoration of town councils, especially Killarney Town Council. She is delighted that commitment is being made in her party’s manifesto.
“For towns like Killarney, Fianna Fáil has committed to establish town councils with towns with a population of over 7,500 people on a phased basis. Having a council in Killarney Town is something I have been a big advocate for,” she said.
“We can see the shortcomings of local government, including the lack of independent financing, and the need to serve the people. I believe by re-evaluating these issues locally will only be a positive for all involved local reps, executives, and ultimately and most importantly, constituents.”
