Standing up for Ireland

Trish Murtagh
Meath County Council
Ratoath
Originally from Dublin, I moved to Ratoath in 1996 and reared my two children here. I have witnessed immense change during those years. While I love living in Ratoath, I have witnessed the ineffective way our village has grown, leading to huge challenges, with inadequate public transport, utilities, essential amenities, green spaces, etc. As an independent business owner for 30 years I have volunteered in many business forums and community organisations. The small businesses which make our village unique, are also the gel that holds our community together. I am passionate about sustaining and enhancing our business and community groups and ensuring that we future proof a vibrant, successful village for our expanding population.
