Donal O’Connor

Sligo County Council

Ballymote/Tobercurry

Originally from Ballyfarnon, I am now resident in Geevagh for the past 18 years, where my wife, Anne, and I are raising two young boys. I am self-employed in the construction sector. Youth development is one of my passions, and I want to continue helping to develop youth organisations in our community. It is important that our elderly can live with respect and in comfort, and I am keen to help bring that about during this cost-of-living crisis. Proper infrastructure is so important, particularly here in the Northwest. Our citizens would benefit from more investment in better public transport, roads, housing, and community development. We need to see positive change in this country, and that can begin in the local elections next June.
