I spent last weekend canvassing in some of my old local election area and got to meet up with a large number of my old supporters. The villages of Windgap, Kilmaganny, and Dunnamaggan formed part of my old local election area before the boundaries were redrawn in 1999. After being a local councillor for these areas for twenty years up to 1999, it was good to get back canvassing these areas. It was nice to meet up with some old friends and supporters once again.
The issues in these areas are very similar to many of the other rural areas, which I have already covered. Yet again the status of rural post offices was raised again and again on the doorsteps. The lifeblood of rural village is the local post office and sometimes, I feel the powers that be in government over look this. On the upside, it was nice to see some new housing being planned for Windgap. It is good to see new houses going into this nice village.

Well done Michael on the issue of Post Offices. Liam has done a great job leading the Muine Bheag campaign all the way to the Dáil.Our party MEP Proinsias De Rossa has also led the campaign against the worst elements of the services Directive in the EU Parliament. Hopefully you'll be in Leinster House after the election to lead from the front on the issue
