I am delighted to announce the creation of new jobs for Nenagh after HKPB Scientific revealed plans to open a facility in the town.

 

HKPB decided to bring the new facility to Nenagh after I personally intervened to draw their attention to the facilities on offer in the town.

 

I am delighted to have attracted a company of this quality to Nenagh. They are creating the type of jobs we need, high-value, export led jobs that will boost the entire regional economy.

 

These jobs will bring money into the community and will have a very positive effect for all businesses in the town and the local area. It’s a massive boost for Nenagh and it comes at a time when good news is in short supply.

Coming Back Home

Back Home in Portroe
Back Home in Portroe

I got back to my home village of Portroe early on the 9th to be met by a huge crowd of supporters and well wishers. I have to say it was one of the most special nights of my life. Before that I was met by a large convey of cars at the county bounds near Limerick to welcome me home. We proceeded in a convey through Nenagh and out then to Portroe. The village of newly elected Cllr. Jonathan Meaney, County hurling manager Liam Sheedy (and goalie Darren Gleeson), the brillant musician Gerry O'Connor and of course Aoife Kelly, our Rose of Tralee. It is a small parish but one of the most united in the country and I'm exceptionally proud to come from there.

Today begun with the first debate of the European campaign. The debate took place in Limerick 95s studio and was attended by four of the candidates including myself.

From now on the HSE intend to transfer all self admitted A&E patients to Limerick Regional.

On Thursday I was in Mallow and was greated by the Mayor of the town, James Kennedy. James is a sound fella and was really helpful to me. I even got the official Mallow tie pin! We canvassed the town with some of the local members and the reception was good. Mallow is a very strong Labour town, given the Sherlock tradition. It slso has many great local activists and Cllr. Jerry Mullally has always been very helpful to me.

Our party leader Eamon Gilmore visited Nenagh on Friday (27th), where he was welcomed by a large selection of the party membership. He was particularly pleased to see his old trade union colleagues Frank and Ger Lewis, with who he worked for many years. It was great for the membership to meet with Eamon again and he certainly has shown his support to the constituency by the frequency of his visits.

While in Nenagh, we did a walkabout and got a great reception. He was an instant hit with the public as usual. Eamon was briefed on the issues facing the town, particularly unemployment, the future of the hospital and cutbacks in education.

Valentines Day in Nenagh
Valentines Day in Nenagh

My colleagues in Nenagh decided to bring some cheer to the streets of Nenagh this Valentine's day by giving out valentines cards, roses and good spirit to the people of the town. It was done with a sense of fun and the people reacted very well to us.

Nenagh has a strong history of supporting the Labour party and certainly the sense from the people was one of the party making progress locally and nationally. There is huge respect for the Labour leadership of Eamon Gilmore and Joan Burton, who are performing excellently.

Nenagh Hospital Rally
Nenagh Hospital Rally

On Saturday Jan 31st, over 1500 people turned up at the Nenagh GAA complex to protest against the planned cuts in services at Nenagh General Hospital. After leaking the initiall report that proved that these cuts were on the cards, I was delighted to see the crowd. These include A&E, surgery and intensive care. The crowd could have been much larger but for the lack of capacity in the hall and many were turned away or stayed outside listening to the proceedings on loud speakers.

The rally heard from many speakers including Peadar McMahon of the Monaghan Hospital Action Group. Other speakers fromt he platform included doctors, consultants and the the Mayor of Nenagh, who spoke on behalf of the town council.

The HSE failed to turn up.
