I recently served as Mayor of Kilkenny City, having been elected to Kilkenny Borough Council in 2004. I joined the Labour Party in 1987, and contested the local elections in 1999 in my native South Kerry. I was elected in 2004 in my new home city. I am now the only Labour Party candidate for Kilkenny City West, covering most of the west of Kilkenny City and the rural towns and villages of Callan, Danesfort, Stoneyford, Kells and Dunamaggin.

Well done to Rossport people on their bravery
Comhgáirdeachas do mhuintir Ros Dúch ar an seasamh a thugadar ar maidin. Well done to the people of Rossport who bravely stopped Shell and its agents beginning work on the unnecessary onshore Bealnaboy gas 'refinery' this morning. Interestingly I met a Rossport bus driver at the weekend in Kildare, another Corduff whose first name escapes me. He reiterated the support of the people of the area for the campaign and predicted the outcome this morning. I was delighted to be present when Pat Rabitte presented Vincent McGrath with the Labour Party's Jim Kemmy Justice award in Kilkenny at the Tom Johnson award (Blog coming soon folks I promise). Meanwhile best of luck to the Rossport people on their struggle. Here's a pic of Vincent and myself after the award presentation.
