VOTE FOR JOE FLAHERTY
FIANNA FÁIL CANDIDATE FOR LONGFORD - WESTMEATH
New Choice
As a proud Longford man and community activist ,I will be contesting the next General Election for Fianna Fail . As a father of three young daughters and with deep ties to the local community I am acutely aware of the struggles and challenges facing Longford families . The current government and it’s previous incarnation has shown scant regard for our country. Longford hasn’t felt any of this much publicised recovery and it is time for us to stand up and seek our fair share.
New Voice
Longford needs a strong TD ,rooted in the local community, committed to the people of Longford and who will be a strong voice in the next Dail. The scars of the economic collapse are all too apparent across our country in spite of the bet efforts of community groups. I have resolved to dedicate my time and energy to ensuring that the people of Longford will get to share the benefits of a strong , vibrant local economy and a fair society for all our citizens.
New Ideas
Employment: Longford has the highest unemployment rate in the country at 19.6%. We need a new and sustained approach to job creation based on training and actively seeking out new employers.
SMEs : Small businesses are at the core of the Longford economy but have received little support as they battled to protect jobs in our communities . It is time to support SMEs and family run businesses.
Home care support : Families are struggling to provide the care that relatives require and deserve. We must immediately address the shortfall in home help hours.
