Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

The people of County Mayo will not tolerate any more shenanigans. We are still waiting for a proper road infrastructure, a western rail corridor, adequate ambulance services, balanced regional development and the jobs that every other region has. We do not want the dirty jobs. We are still waiting for Knock Airport to be treated as an international one. To the Government and the EU I say,"Hands off our county unless there is something positive to give us".
