Dakota Nic Mheanman

Donegal County Council

Lifford/Stranorloar

I take pride in living in Ballybofey all my life and want to be your voice, working hard to help create a better, safer community for all. As a mother to my one year old daughter, a young person and recent graduate with an honours degree in Gaeilge and Criminology, I understand the issues facing both my generation and other families. Issues like the high cost of living, the housing crisis and the loss of our young people to emigration. Having previously volunteered with Jigsaw Donegal, I am passionate about the delivery of proper mental health services in the community. I will be a strong campaigner for good healthcare, including services at St Joseph’s Hospital and timely access to GP and Primary Care services, including diagnostic services.
