Heather Humphreys takes Presidential campaign to Fermoy

Presidential election candidate, Heather Humphreys, visited Fermoy today (Friday) as part of her campaign.

Heather met businesses people and shoppers as she walked about Fermoy, telling them about her vision for the Presidency.

She then visited the Art Craft and Design Gallery where she viewed local art, including the ‘At School with Dyslexia’ exhibition.

Heather then visited Fermoy Community Resource Centre where she met staff and volunteers.

Heather said: “Volunteers are the glue that holds communities together, and if elected President I will recognise and highlight the great work they do. I want to celebrate the unsung heroes all over the country.

“I am putting myself before the people on the basis that I am a centre ground, common sense, pro-European candidate.

“The Presidency is above party politics, and I am asking voters to place their trust in me so that I can bring my experience to the role of President.

“I served in Cabinet for 10 years; overseeing the successful 1916 Commemorations; supporting businesses through Brexit and the pandemic; rolling out Hot School Meals to young children across the country; enhancing supports for our pensioners; and investing in local communities.

“Throughout my career I have always worked constructively with people and parties from across the political spectrum. I have served in Government at different times alongside Fianna Fáil, the Labour party, the Green party and Independents. During my time on Monaghan County Council, I worked alongside members of Sinn Féin for the benefit of our local area. I have always worked in a spirit of cooperation with everybody on all political sides and I would bring that same ethos to the Presidency.

“I won’t let our country down and I will represent Ireland with pride diplomatically and culturally at home and on the world stage.”
