Suzie’s pledges for your area:

• I will refuse to deal with IPAS (International Protection Accommodation Services) if they try to create more asylum centres in our local area. This has already been done by the Mayo County Council.
• Last year it was reported by the Sunday Business Post that Housing Minister Darragh O’ Brien sent out an order to local councillors to disregard “local connection” when deciding who gets social housing.
• In rural Ireland, we need local representatives who will call out the destruction of Irish farming. I will do everything possible to show my support for our farmers. The Irish Freedom Party oppose the Cattle Cull and Nitrates derogation which the establishment parties are pushing on behalf of the EU.
• Local businesses are the lifeblood of a local community. I will oppose any attempt the council makes to raise rates on local businesses.
• We need to improve local transport links in the county. I believe a lot of council funding should be put into improving accessibility in our area.
• We must work with local Gardaí to ensure our community is safe. As a local councillor I will liaise with local Gardaí to make our community a safer place.
