My Background

In order to continue community based representation for the Clane Area, I am running as a non-party candidate in the local elections.

I am a true Independent and believe that at community level, party allegiances can often be divisive and can put the party interest before that of ordinary people.

My objective is to put people and the community first.

Since heading the poll in 1999, my father, Tony McEvoy, has been able to impartially pursue the community’s needs without the baggage of party politics.

I am a 35 year old engineer who attended Clane B.N.S., Scoil Mhuire and the Dublin Institute of Technology before spending a decade working in the UK and France.

My business expertise includes large-scale high-tech manufacturing and managing project teams. I currently research technologies for Irish companies and lecture at the DIT.

Following in family footsteps, I have worked with Tidy Towns, Community Games, Access Projects and the Le Chéile community magazine.

I compete in canoe polo for leisure and would like to see more support for youth projects and amenities.

What we need today is fresh thinking.

My career to date has been about finding workable solutions to complex problems. These skills, and my relative youth, can bring a whole new energy to local representation for the Clane Electoral Area.
