Cllr Brian McDowell
My name is Brian McDowell and I contested the local elections in June 2009 for the Donaghmede ward as a Labour Party candidate. I received 1744 first preference votes missing out on the last seat by less than 150 votes. I live in Donaghmede with my wife Linda and our two children, Ian and Sarah.
Following the successful election of Sean Kenny TD to the Dáil, I was co-opted onto Dublin City Council. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to serve the people of my community.
Transport, anti social behaviour, the proper use of our green spaces and a coordinated approach to planning are issues that need to be addressed and I will work hard to do my part in providing new solutions to these problems.
Politics is about ideas and been elected to local or national government gives you the opportunity to implement those ideas. I intend to work with local community organisations, the local Labour Party and local people to ensure that our community gets its fair share of the resources available.
Best Wishes
Brian
