Standing up for Ireland
Tom Forde
Wexford County Council
Wexford
I am a primary school teacher at Wexford Educate Together and was elected to Wexford County Council in 2019 having previously being co-opted onto the seat formerly held by Cllr Anthony Kelly.
I live in Liam Mellows Park and was educated in Kennedy Park National School and Wexford CBS Secondary School.
I worked as an Electrician before enrolling in UCD where I studied History and Politics and graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree and then completed my Higher Diploma in Primary Education.
As a father of three I understand the challenges faced by families and have campaigned to protect and improve services and access to housing.
I am currently Chairperson of North End United and sit on the Council’s Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment Committee.
