Election Daily: Simon Harris dismisses early general election talk - ‘government going full term is important, I’d like to continue that’.“I had no connection with politics in Ireland before that. I had no party affiliation at all. The party chose me, I didn’t choose the party, but their values are aligned with my beliefs. It is a progressive party.”
Water shortages, housing, alleviating traffic jams and the absence of a swimming pool in the town are among the issues she hopes to raise at council level.
