Independent TD for Wexford, Verona Murphy will unveil a team of Independent candidates in all of the five Wexford districts for the upcoming local elections in June at a public meeting tonight in the Riverside Park Hotel Enniscorthy. The event is open to the public to attend.
Speaking to WexfordLocal.com from her New Ross office this Wednesday morning, Deputy Murphy said; “Since my election in 2020, I have sat at many County Council meetings, at these meeting sitting councillors represent their party policies rather than representing the people who elected them, decisions are made at local level by directives sent down by political party administrators in Dublin with little or no regard for the people affected by these decisions.
“That status quo of decision making must change. Wexford deserves more respect than the political parties are willing to give it. I ask anyone who is looking for a change to the political landscape to come along tonight and meet their local Independent candidates”, stated Deputy Murphy.
“Independently and collectively as a group of like-minded individuals, We are forming the Wexford Independent Alliance (WIA). I will be the Oireachtas member who will support the Alliance members. Our common aim is to ensure that local politics works for local people by having Independent candidates across the county elected who will promote and bring in policies that will put the prosperity of County Wexford first. It must be about the people and not the party,” concluded Deputy Murphy.
The public meeting takes place tonight (Wednesday) in the Riverside Park Hotel Enniscorthy tonight at 8pm. The event is open to the public to attend. MC on the night will be Ivan Yates and guest speaker is Independent Senator Michael McDowell SC.
