Evelyn Gaynor

Kildare County Council

Maynooth

Originally from Dublin, I have lived in Kilcock for the past 21 years and I’m married with two sons. I currently work as Head of Retail, overseeing a chain of stores. I’ve had meetings in the Dáil, had articles written in newspapers and appeared on TV dealing with workers’ rights and transport issues. In 2019 I set up a campaign on public transport issues and a lot of progress has been made, but there’s a lot more to do. I believe that the infrastructure, transport, childcare needs, primary care facilities and youth facilities in our area are inadequate. It is very sad to see our young people locked out of the chance to own their own home, with many choosing to emigrate. It’s time for change, and that starts locally on June 7th.
