Council candidate pushing for better infrastructure in towns and villages

Candidate Profile:

Name: Brendan Wyse

Address: Allenwood

Occupation: Software Engineer

Party: Fine Gael

Why have you decided to run in the Local Elections?

I began volunteer work to get things moving for our community that I felt should’ve been

delivered a long time ago. I wasn’t satisfied that my PAYE and Local Property Tax contributions

were being put to use fully, in rural regions like my own. I’ve already managed to get some

important community projects moving along and raised some important questions regarding

infrastructure in rural Kildare, but I believe that if I was a councillor, I‘d be able to deliver a lot

more.

Why should people vote for you?

I’ve demonstrated in just a few years that I can make progress on issues that affect rural

communities. Projects like Allenwood Playground, idle for 5 years, but now under my leadership

is in planning phase. Carbury Playground, dormant for over a decade, is now rejuvenated by the

launch of an action group I formed earlier this year.

If you believe that rural Kildare is being neglected when it comes to amenities and infrastructure

and that your family’s quality of life should be better, given the amount of tax you pay, then you

should vote for me.

What do you think is lacking in your area and what will you be campaigning for?

In North West Kildare, I want to see the delivery of necessary amenities, such as playgrounds

and greenways. I’ll be pushing for the upgrading of long neglected infrastructure to provide

adequate wastewater systems, classroom capacities and safe road networks. I want to see that

the facilities of sports clubs and community groups grow as fast as those in the large towns. I

want to increase the penalties for fly-tipping. I will always put the protection of our countryside

first.
