On Friday the 26th June Fianna Fail invited me to contest the next General Election on their behalf in Kildare North. It is a great honour for me to get this invitation from the party. I look forward to the campaign ahead and I hope with the support of the people in Kildare North that I can represent them in the next Dail.
I will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of all and represent them to the best of my ability. There are a lot of challenges ahead and we must work to ensure that we have a fair and equal society as the economy recovers. I look forward to meeting the people of Kildare North in the months ahead and engaging with them.

Cllr Frank O’Rourke with members of the Leixlip Park Residents Association.
“I was contacted by the Residents Association to assist in having two new bins installed and also to have much needed and long overdue repairs started on the footpaths within the Estate. I am delighted that following my ongoing work on behalf of the Residents that the two new dust bins are now in place and repairs on the footpaths have commenced. This will improve the welfare for all living in Leixlip Park and I will continue to assist and work with all concerned until all the footpath and road repairs are completed for the Residents. I want to thank the Residents Association for raising these issues with me.”
