Ben Ward

My name is Ben Ward and I’m a Fine Gael candidate in the next local elections for the Tullow electoral area. I went to primary school in Ballon where I played GAA and soccer for many years. I then attended Tullow community school where my interest in politics and the local community began. I’m currently completing my studies in Economics, Politics, and Philosophy in UCD.

Tullow needs a fresh and energetic voice who’s going to be proactive in trying to make our community a better place for people to live, work, and own businesses in. I’m putting myself forward to represent the people and the community that I’ve grown up around my whole life. I’m passionate about affecting positive change in our area through pragmatic politics. Being a young person, I want to be a voice for young people on the council and campaign for issues that affect young people.
