Joanna Byrne

Louth County Council

Drogheda Urban

Born and raised in Drogheda I have been on the Council since 2016. I’m heavily involved in sport with Drogheda United FC. Having always had strong female influences around me, I am passionate about breaking down barriers for women. I was recently elected onto the FAI’s National League Committee and cherish this opportunity to be a voice for Drogheda on a national field. I have been a strong voice on housing and homelessness and have advocated for facilities for those struggling with addiction. I’ve worked on issues such as illegal dumping, road safety, housing maintenance, housing transfers, vacant properties, period poverty, campaigned to ‘bring the Merryweather home’ and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. I am a strong, determined advocate for those in need and I am asking you to place your trust in me once again.
