Peggy Nolan Interview - Local Election Series
http://longfordlocal.com/peggy-nolan-interview-local-election-series/
Peggy Nolan has being an elected member to Local Government in Longford for the past 15 years, and it came as no surprise that she had plenty to say when she sat down with Johnny Fallon recently to discuss her campaign for re-election in May.
The topic of Local Health Services, or lack of , played a major part in the conversation, and Peggy was typically passionate in defending her work in the general health area over many years, stating that it was the removal of services from Longford County Hospital that motivated her to become involved in local politics in the first place.
Peggy didn’t shy away from going into detail, discussing the HSE Official who refused to answer her questions after making her wait 18 months for an interview, to her personally chasing down senior management at Iceland to encourage them to locate a new store in Co Longford, and to what cross-party set-up she would organise regarding how to promote Longford for inward investment should she retain her seat.
While she says she operates always with a “Sense of truth and fairness” in her work, she did not disagree it seems with Johnny when he made the argument that the sense of unfairness towards Longford in Government Policy has accelerated under the current Fine Gael administration , but did argue that she believed Fine Gael would assist Longford further when the economy improves in future years.
“A shrinking violet” is most definitely a term that is NOT applicable to Cllr Peggy Nolan :)
We would like to thank Peggy for her time in making herself available to be interviewed, and we wish her and all the election candidates the best in their election campaigns.
