It is the honour of a lifetime to be elected...

It is the honour of a lifetime to be elected to represent the people of Offaly in Dáil Éireann, and I’m deeply humbled that so many people put their faith in me on the ballot paper to progress our proud county. I will do all I possibly can to represent you, and will work day and night to ensure your voice is heard in Dáil Éireann. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I will give it everything I have. John

@grant_irl is one of the largest employers in Offaly, thank you to Stevie, Niall and all the team that met with me this morning to discuss the challenges and opportunities they face. I’m very conscious of the number of homes across Offaly relying on peat/turf to fuel their homes. At a time of transition, there must be a practical compromise made in ensuring more efficient and warmer homes for all with minimal disruption. I am committed to promoting more efficient home heating systems and will work to promote HVO and BIOLPG as alternative fuels for rural homes. I will advocate for the transition from oil and fossil fuels, to heating systems, that will lower carbon footprints and costs. This will require supporting and incentivizing the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) to reduce emissions from existing home boilers where deep retrofits are not possible in the short term. #WorkingForOffaly #VoteNo1Clendennen #GE24

    The phase one development of the Slieve Bloom Mountain Bike Trails is nearing completion, with almost €2 Million investment and the addition of 35 kilometres of off-road, cross-country, mountain bike trails, expected to open in early 2019.

    ​

    It is critical that the local community maximises the economic opportunity presented by the development and with a Development Group already established in Kinnitty Village and progress being made in Laois, this is a project that will transform the Slieve Blooms.
