Background

I GREW up in Annacotty Village and still live in the village with my wife. I went to Lisnagry National School and the CBS Secondary School in Limerick City.

In addition to my role as a local Councillor I work as the caretaker in Milford National School, a role I really enjoy. I am very heavily involved in community activities. I am the chairperson the local Community Text Alert system, I am the coordinator of the Senior Alert System for the Annacotty, Castletroy, Lisnagry and Monaleen areas and I have been the secretary of the local soccer club, Aisling Annacotty AFC for almost twenty years now.
