Ger Deere - Local Election Candidate - Fine Gael

2/2 Pedestrians have to avoid overhanging hedging and branches too. Is this acceptable to anyone, in particular to the elderly and persons with disabilities in our community. Please Mayo Co Co, rectify this as a matter of urgency. It's a small job but will make a big difference.

1/2 On my canvass yesterday eve I met with a personal assistant to a wheelchair user who pointed out to me what she and her client have to endure on a daily basis when using the foothpath on the approach to St Heart Hospital. The path is very uneven with sections missing.

I wish Henry well on his retirement and I hope that with your support on May 24th, I can replace Henry and continue to give good representation to the Castlebar area. #castlebar #mayo

1/2 No going back now! Handed in my nomination papers yesterday to John Condon at Mayo County Council. I am honoured to have outgoing councillor, Cllr Henry Kenny sign my nomination papers. Henry has given great service to this area over the years in Mayo County Council.

2/2 Is this a FITTING tribute to Mayo's most influential son? Please, Mayo Co Co do something to show due respect to this great man, Michael Davitt. #castlebar #mayo

1/2 This week, 8 yrs ago as Mayor of Castlebar I proposed that the Town Council in conjunction with Mayo Co Co would purchase the former Imperial Hotel to keep it in public ownership because of it's historical significance. 8 years later this building still remains neglected.

3/3 From a personal point of view, I know the great work and care that takes place here and this investment will secure the continuation of this work into the future: HSE, Ireland Age Action, Irish Rural Link, Castlebar Voluntary Social Services Meals On Wheels. #castlebar #mayo

2/3 Here is an article from 2013 when the funding was first announced. Full article here: advertiser.ie/mayo/article/6… Best wishes to patients, staff and residents and all associated.

1/3 Great day today with the opening of the Sacred Heart Hospital. Delighted to have played my part along with my party colleagues in delivering this fantastic facility.

Highlighted to me by parents of children with visual/mobility issues, is one of the most popular attractions in the award winning playground in Turlough. The slide is not disability friendly which could be easily addressed by instaling hand rails and exit ramp.

Well done to all that turned up for the community clean up in Snugboro this evening. In particular, it was great to see so many young people helping out. #prideoftheparish #communityspirit #mayo

facebook.com/187794613261/p… Great to see this development starting on Main St. Best of luck to Dermot and Ivan two outstanding local businessmen. Thank you for your vote of confidence in our great town.

2/2 Natural gas is more environmentally friendly as it burns cleaner than other fossil fuels so more must be done to ensure natural gas is an attractive and affordable fuel option for people in Castlebar #ClimateAction #Castlebar #GasOption

1/2 I was reminded on the campaign trail last evening of the natural gas pipeline. It's shocking to hear of the huge cost to residents to extend the gas mains into the estates.

Cleaning the wall at Castle St with Castlebar Tidy Towns volunteers today. This will compliment all the great work the traders and residents do in keeping the street clean and colourful all year. #castlebar #mayo

Happy Easter to all our Castlebar Tidy Towns volunteers. We covered a lot of ground yesterday morning but sadly found no Easter Eggs 😣

2/2 I will liaise with Mayo County Council, Chamber of Commerce, Love Castlebar, Castlebar Tidy Towns, Visit Castlebar and all interested parties to ensure that our vision for Castlebar will be dealt with in a meaningful and feasible way. #castlebar #mayo

1/2 Engaging with various groups and individuals over the last while, I believe we need to be thinking strategically and focusing on solutions for the various challenges we have as a town and a community.

3/3 I think the girls and ladies of our town deserve better. We all need to work together to find them a permanent home. I want to thank the volunteers and coaches

2/3 With over 350 members, 170 of these underage, they have to rely on the goodwill of Davitt College to use their facilities. They have no changing or toilet facilities for themselves or visiting teams.

1/3 On the canvass this evening, I met several parents heading to training with their daughters and they raised this issue with me, that Castlebar Mitchels Ladies LGFA do not have a permanent pitch to play on.
