Tipperary General Election candidate calls for 'change of direction'

Cllr Jim Ryan says that people are looking for a change to how they are governed, and says that now is the time to make these changes.

"This election is probably one of the most important elections that this country has faced in many a year, and I’m encouraging people first of all to come out and vote, use their voice for change.

"We need a change of government, we need a change of direction, we need newer, fresher, more enthusiastic TDs to be elected into the Dáil. People who have a bit of common sense and a bit of cop-on, and have life experiences that the vast majority of people in this country have.

"You’re going to get that with me, and I ask people to please come out, vote for change, vote for Jim Ryan, and I will not let anybody down, and I will represent people with a sense of fairness, decency and respect, which is the very least you can expect from any TD representing you," he said.
