Cllr Anne Breen
Anne who trained as a nurse, comes originally from Dungannon, Co. Tryone. She and her husband, Larry, an industrial chemist, have lived in Naas for 30 years. They have seven children.Despite a busy family and professional life, Anne has always found time to involve herself in local affairs, such as:
The Parent’s Council at St. Mary’s.3 years on St. Mary’s Board of Management.
16 years as an active member of the Naas Local History Group, 10 years on the committee.
Member of Kildare County Council Historic Monuments Advisory Committee.
Long term member of the Mercy Associates, who strive to keep up the ethos of the Sisters of Mercy.
Resident’s Association of the Paddocks.
Chairperson – Naas and District Community Alert, providing alarms for the elderly in Naas and district.
Attendant Nurse with the yearly Franciscan Pilgrimage to Lourdes helping with the invalids.
Anne was instrumental in re-launching of a Neighbourhood Watch programme in her area. Anne has very strong views on education. As someone who has watched the population of Naas grow significantly, she is deeply concerned about the failure to develop more educational and recreational facilities for young people. “We have virtually the same infrastructure – nothing has changed except the number of houses and the appalling traffic”.
Anne is a keen and tireless walker who claims that neither her husband – who prefers to get his exercise at Naas Tennis Club – nor any of her seven children can keep up with her.
