Meet the Louth election candidates: David Brennan - Independent

“My name is David Brennan and I am proud to stand as an independent candidate in the Louth constituency in the upcoming general election.

“Mavis and I are married 55 years. We have two children and five grandchildren. I am a businessman with 47 years’ experience and many years before that in farming.

“In 1978 I was recognised as ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and since then I have continued to build and sustain a thriving business, creating employment for people in County Louth and beyond.

“As a lifelong resident of County Louth, I am dedicated to fostering economic opportunity, employment and positive development in our community.

“I am concerned with the direction the country is moving in and how it will affect my grandchildren’s future and future generations. As a country we are facing many challenges – Housing, Immigration, how some Government Departments are wasting money, how our financial institutions are operating - to name but a few. 47 years’ experience of growing and managing successful enterprises, has given me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families, entrepreneurs, farmers and communities across Ireland.

“I believe in a practical, business-minded approach to politics – one focussed on efficiency and accountability. I am committed to listening to and acting on the needs of constituents to improve our community.”
