Catherine Burke

Waterford County Council

Portlaw-Kilmacthomas

I am from the village of Bonmahon, and live with my husband and daughter on the Copper Coast. I became a primary school teacher in 2007. I completed a Masters Degree in Education from Trinity College Dublin and have worked as Deputy Principal for six years. I am a proud republican and trade unionist with INTO. I also have volunteered with a mental health charity for many years. I am passionate about securing sustainable resources, services and opportunities for our local area. I am committed to making meaningful and positive progress. I hope to focus on the issues experienced within our area by working with people in the locality, local organisations, schools, networks and businesses. Together, we can create a better future. Ní neart go cur le chéile.
