Now is no better time than to share what I have been working on since January - I have been Campaign Manager of John Moran for Mayor of Limerick’s candidacy to become the first Directly Elected Mayor of Limerick!

I first met John early last year, for a coffee while studying at UCD. The conversation ran way over what I expected, as we share spoke about local democracy and what Ireland (and Limerick) needed.

As I moved my things back from Dublin that summer, someone had booked a seat across the table from me. In sits John across from me, for what would be another visionary conversation.

Fast forward to the start of January, and I am walking into a 19th century Presbyterian Church turned printing press - soon to be Campaign HQ - in Limerick City for the first day of my internship.

We worked together building the campaign from the ground up with an incredible group of volunteers; between meetings, strategising, messaging, policy development, event planning.. you name it, we progressed with an incredible crew of volunteers throughout.

Take a look at the work gone into this campaign by everyone across our team on our social media channels or website - particularly the 300+ actions to deliver a more liveable, prosperous and healthy #Limerick (www.johnmoran.ie)!

Today, we stand at a historic moment for Limerick and Ireland. The opportunity to vote for the first Directly Elected Mayor of Limerick, and our country.

As a first-time voter and Limerick citizen, I will be voting for experience, for independence and for #MoreForLimerick. John is the best person to lead the delivery of this historic reform in local government.

John, thanks for the opportunity to tackle this monumental task with you. Now, let’s get to counting 🗳️
