Standing up for Ireland

Brian Fogarty
Wicklow County Council
Greystones
I am a native of Greystones, deeply rooted in this town that I call home. As a passionate person, committed to equality, fairness and social justice, my journey began in the workplace, as a Trade Union representative. As Chairperson of Mandate Trade Union’s Wicklow Council, and a member of its National Executive, I helped form positive change by shaping national strategies. I negotiated for better pay and conditions for workers, promoted grassroots activism and empowered others through leadership and training. Now seeking a role as a councillor, I want to use my experience and skills in public representation, policy analysis, negotiation and conflict resolution to address local issues which affect peoples’ everyday lives. I’m ready to face the challenges and amplify your voice to help build vibrant communities.
