Doyle Calls on Constituents to Vote on May 24

Monday, April 30 2007

Cllr. Andrew Doyle has called on constituents to vote on May 24 to ensure new public hospital and third level facility for Co. Wicklow.

Doyle also pledges to ensure upgrading construction work begins on lethal stretch of road between Rathnew and Arklow

Cllr. Andrew Doyle, Fine Gael General Election candidate for Wicklow, has welcomed the launch of the 2007 General Election campaign and is urging constituents in Co. Wicklow to exercise their democratic right to vote on May 24.

Cllr. Doyle says this election offers voters the opportunity to elect an alternative Government which will ensure the people of Wicklow have the quality of life they deserve in 21st Century Ireland.

Cllr. Doyle is focused on a variety of local Wicklow issues for the upcoming General Election including:

The establishment of a proper public general hospital for Co. Wicklow. Wicklow, Carlow and Leitrim are the only counties nationwide which don’t have a proper fully equipped general public hospital. A ridiculous situation, when you consider that 126,194* people now reside in Co. Wicklow.

Free GP visits for every child under 5 and free health insurance for every child under 16

Further development of a Third Level Facility at Clermont Campus in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow

Ensuring construction begins as soon as possible on the final piece of the N11 corridor from Rathnew to Arklow before any more lives are lost on this lethal stretch of road.

A fair slice of exchequer funds to our Local Authority in order to run Co. Wicklow effectively

Working with the farming community and others to develop a comprehensive alternative energy package to reduce our dependence on fossils fuels and ensure that we live up to our Kyoto responsibilities

Cllr. Andrew Doyle says that the start of this election campaign marks the end of the era of broken promises by the current Government.

“The people of Co. Wicklow know this Government won't do in the next five years what they haven't done in the past ten. They won't deliver health services that work. They won't make the streets safer. And they won't spend the people's money well. Their time is up. It's time for a change and we now have an opportunity to elect a government that keeps its word and delivers services that the people of Co. Wicklow need and deserve.”

Andrew Doyle has been a Councillor for Wicklow since 1999 and was Chairman of Wicklow county Council for the 2005/6 term. During that time, Doyle has worked tirelessly for the people of Co. Wicklow. Some of the issues and projects he has been involved in include fighting to secure funding for the Glen of Immal/Wicklow Mountain rescue Team and Wicklow Uplands Council.

He played a leading role in enhancing community care in Wicklow and promised schemes for funding of local cemetery committees. Andrew has also promoted and supported responsible policy initiatives taken by Wicklow County Council, including provision of adequate employment, land and development of sustainable tourism.
