About Tony

A Snapshot of What I Stand and Work For


I have a proven track record of working and delivering for the people of Clare during my 18 year political career.  I have a strong character but I also bring a personable approach to politics.  I believe I have a clarity of vision and that has helped establish me as a true representative of the people in Clare.  I have been a vigorous defender of Shannon Airport,  fought hard to retain local disability and health services, promoted the community and voluntary sector, and have managed on several occasions to unite political opponents in the pursuit of delivering positive change for all the people we represent. A talent I believe will be very useful and necessary in the coming years as a Seanad representative.

•    Owns an industrial catering business
