“Change starts in your local community,” says Sinn Féin election candidate Maria Doherty

Maria Doherty, Sinn Fein local election candidate for the Milford LEA, says this year’s local and European Elections are taking place at a time when Ireland is facing many challenges – an ongoing housing crisis, a health service that is at breaking point and a cost-of-living crisis.

These elections are an opportunity for people to have their say on the change they want to see, she said.

“We have a government that is out of touch, that doesn’t understand the challenges workers and families are facing, doesn’t have the ideas or the capacity to fix them, and doesn’t give our local Councils the resources and the funds to deliver for communities.

“Change starts in your local community. If I am elected as a councillor for the Milford LEA I will
work hard for you to make sure that Donegal County Council works better for you. Better delivery of social and affordable housing. Better delivery of local services and amenities. Better maintenance of our roads and making our streets safer.

“Donegal County Council will be crucial to delivering affordable homes for workers and families under a Sinn Féin led government. That is why a vote for Sinn Féin in the local election on 7th June is a vote to start fixing the housing crisis.

“My commitment to you is that we will make sure your voice is heard at the local level. Politics works best when decisions are taken closest to those impacted and when the views of communities are heard.

“I will make it my business to ensure that your Council delivers for you such as:

* Putting the delivery of social and affordable housing back at the top of the Council agenda.

* Making your Council work better for you; consulting, listening, and delivering for the community.

* Tackling red tape and delays at local authority level, particularly in relation to planning and the delivery of
housing and infrastructure.

* Getting local Councils back doing the things they once did well including them maintenance of roads, delivering
local services – including waste services, cleaning our streets, and delivering and maintaining homes for which
they are responsible.

*Supporting communities working hard to improve their local areas by investing in public spaces, leisure and sports
facilities, transport infrastructure and the local environment.
