Responsibilities
I am a mum of four with a life long love of nature and a deep aversion to waste of any kind. I work full time as a local representative County Councillor. This means I am working closely with our Local Government to support their work on climate action and biodiversity loss and help bridge the gap between policy and action at local level. This can often mean supporting communities to access correct information on climate action projects and feed back concerns the public have.
I am volunteer Chairperson of our local tidy towns organisation Keep Kilkenny Beautiful and I believe this is the most powerful organisation for climate action in communities in Ireland. Increasingly Keep Kilkenny Beautiful works on a lot of projects aimed at reducing our carbon footprint and halting biodiversity loss. We do this through programmes to eliminate invasive species, improve water quality highlight waste and encouraging waste reduction by doing more with less.
