Meet the Louth candidates: Kevin Callan - Independent
Delivering services for local communities
“I have been an elected councillor in Louth for the past 15 years.
“I am the first Independent Cathaoirleach of Louth County Council in 27 years due to the fact that I work with a very strong group of Independents who represent the county from Dundalk to Ardee, Clogherhead to Drogheda.
“We work across the political landscape in the council chamber to deliver for our communities. I want to take this work to our national parliament.
“If elected I will be an experienced and competent representative who is aware of the needs of the county and of each and every home.
“We have serious issues around provision of services in terms of healthcare, water services, building homes, investment and also on many local issues.
“I am highly aware of the cost of living situation as well.
“In this election I am calling to thousands of homes to listen to people and to hear their concerns and issues.
“Party politics is not serving the county well and with each of the large parties looking safe to elect at least one TD each, there is a real need for an independent TD who is only representing the people of Louth and not a political party.
“I am asking people to consider an alternative way of voting this time and that we ensure a TD is sent to Leinster house without any party affiliation and who works directly for the people.”
