Standing up for Ireland
James Stokes
Kildare County Council
Newbridge
I was born and raised in Newbridge and I am currently studying in Maynooth University. Throughout my time in education, I’ve been involved in activism, through student council, Student Vice-Captain and now a Maynooth Student Union Senator.
In my day job, I work with young people to overcome barriers to education. In my activism, my goal has been to make it easier for students to access their education.
Young people like myself, have actively been left out of the decision making process. l’ve put my name forward to make a change for everyone in Newbridge, young and old. The time for change is now.
