Kathleen Byrne

Louth County Council

Dundalk-Carlingford

I have lived in Hackballscross for over 30 years and am married to Ronan and we have 5 adult children so I understand the struggles families like mine face putting children through school and college and as a carer for my autistic son, appreciate the challenges that presents for many people like me. I am a member of Cuchulainn Cycling Club and Setanta Triathlon Club and love hiking, trail running, walking and swimming. I fully acknowledge the role that sports and the outdoors play in people’s physical and mental health and I would like to see support for these clubs and additional facilities in the area. I manage the Dundalk Constituency office for Ruairí Ó Murchú TD so I know only too well what people face every day and am well used to going to battle for them. I am an advocate, a fighter and very determined to make our community and our lives better and I believe I know the difficulties and challenges faced by families and can advocate for them and give them a voice.
