PREPARATIONS for the election battle ahead commenced as Dr Cathal Berry, current Independent TD for the Kildare South gathered with supporters in the Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge recently to rally support ahead of the General Election announcement this week.

Dr Berry, TD and former Army Ranger, has outlined five key priorities for constituents in Kildare South ahead of the next election which include housing, healthcare, education, rural Ireland, and his own pet subject national security. Dr Berry highlighted an understanding of the issues affecting Kildare South residents, including the need for lower train fares for commuters, and the lack of sports and recreational facilities, such as no public swimming pool in Newbridge in particular.

He has also stressed the need for National Park status for the Curragh Plains to safeguard it from further future illegal encampments, as well as providing meaningful supports for farmers and small businesses.

“Dr Cathal Berry believes in the power of Independent politics and the need for a strong independent voice in the Dáil to highlight and advocate for Kildare South,” said a spokesperson.

“His supporters are looking forward to getting behind him,” she added.
