Summary

I have represented members for over 20 years in different guises within unions. I was the rep in the IBTS for 17 years where I was heavily involved in negotiations with Senior management and spent time in the WRC and LRC. I was secretary of a sub branch in the Department of Justice. I am currently the Chair of a Revenue sub branch and have been a member of the DEC since 2021.

I have been PRO of my local GAA club for the last five years and also set up and run the Dads and Lads football team.

I present and produce a sports show on Cork Community Radio Station every week
