Veteran Offaly Independent councillor urges his voters to back this candidate in the General Election
Cllr Sean O'Brien says Tullamore needs its own TD as its 'falling behind other towns'
AN Independent councillor, previously a member of the Labour party, has announced his decision to back Fianna Fáil's Tullamore based candidate Cllr Tony McCormack in the forthcoming General election.
Cllr Sean O' Brien said he took his decision as he feels Tullamore, as the county town, needs its own TD.
"Tullamore needs a TD and we have a great chance to get one with Tony McCormack as a candidate for the Election on November 29," outlined Cllr O'Brien,
" I was elected as a councillor in the recent local elections with a great vote from the whole of the Tullamore Electoral area. My promise to people was that I would work hard for the whole area for more housing, better services, more jobs, footpath and road repairs, health services, education services, the N52 By Pass, better train services and much more. Having a local TD will assist me with delivering on all of these important issues," continued Cllr O' Brien.
He asked all of his supporters to consider giving their No.1 vote to Tony McCormack on November 29.
"This is a real chance for this area to have its own full time TD and directly help Tullamore and Offaly to get its rightful share of Government and private investment," stressed Cllr O' Brien.
