Wicklow Sinn Féin TD John Brady has offered his warm congratulation to Esther Kelly, and Brian Fogarty, who have been selected to contest the 2024 local elections as the Sinn Féin candidates in the Greystones Local Electoral Area.

Brady said: “I am absolutely delighted that the local Sinn Féin party has selected two candidates of the calibre of Esther Kelly and Brian Fogarty.

Both of whom are formidable advocates for their local communities and are two people who I believe have real potential to make a big impact on local politics here in Wicklow.

They will contest the local elections for the Greystones area in June 2024. The fact that they will form part of the largest ever Sinn Féin team put forward at a local election in County Wicklow, is a measure of the demand for change that is growing across the county.

The local elections, which will take place on the same day as the EU elections, represent the first opportunity that the electorate in Wicklow has had since the general election of 2020, to send a clear and unambiguous message to the government.

A message that lets them know that the people of this county have had enough of the failure to address the housing crisis, the cost-of-living crisis, and the neglect of our health service.

Esther and Brian will be at the forefront of that campaign to bring about change.

Speaking following her selection Esther Kelly said: “It is an absolute privilege to be given the honour by my party colleagues of going forward as one of our two local election candidates here in the Greystones electoral area.

I am passionate about my local community and will continue hard to make Kilcoole, Greystones and Newcastle a better place for all.

Brian Fogarty said: “I want to echo the sentiments expressed by Esther. It is absolutely an honour, and one which comes with a great sense of responsibility to our local community.

Having successfully represented workers for many years my attention is now drawn to improving our local communities.

“My main objective is to listen to people, give them a voice and tackle local issues which affect people’s everyday lives.”
