Five years ago, I asked you to vote for me on the basis that my skills as an environmental engineer, a resident and a mother could be of benefit to our area of Passage West and Monkstown.  You did, and I have been honoured to serve as a member of Passage West/Monkstown Town Council since June 2004.  I have tackled this job with professional integrity, targeting those tasks which improve the quality of life in our area, while building on the unique assets of our towns.  I would appreciate your No. 1 vote or highest preference possible on June 5th so that I may continue working through the Town Council in raising the profile of Passage West and Monkstown.
