Mehdi Özçınar

Cork County Council

Cobh

A proud father of two and son of a Kurdish father and Armenian mother, I am a resident of the Cobh LEA. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations and have worked in many diverse corporate settings including in my current role within a multinational company. I am also a local entrepreneur and small business owner in the hospitality sector. A member of Sinn Féin for over a decade I have always had a keen interest in politics and serving my community to help bring about transformative positive change. If elected, I pledge to be a strong voice for local businesses, champion safer towns and communities, push for affordable housing and enhance local roads infrastructure. I have a particular interest in mental health and disability provision and commit to be an advocate for greater services in these areas.
