Election fever has hit our country again, we see the posters going up and pamphlets have started to arrive. People will be asking for your vote, making promises, looking into the issues you raise etc. I say to you don’t be afraid to ask the hard hitting questions, we all have a right to be represented 100% by our elected councillors. I urge you to remember to ask them what they have done to improve the fire service in North Wicklow, and what they will do to ensure we have a service 24 x 7 by years end. I have had the promises, the vow to do something, what happened…. zilch, nada, zero….. sadly we the residents have paid the price, more people have become victims to the inadequate fire service we have in North Wicklow, and I add, not just North Wicklow, the whole of Ireland’s fire service needs an overhaul. Let your voice be heard, vote not for what candidates want, but for what you want….
