Cllr Marcella McGarry
Marcella, a first-time Labour Party candidate in June 2009, took a seat at the expense of Fianna Fail and was elected on the fifth count to Sligo Borough Council. The McGarry family have a long-standing Labour Party tradition and Marcella's recently deceased father, Teddy, was heavily involved in the party in the past and worked as a docker at Sligo Port. Marcella lives in the East ward with her daughter and works as a Project Worker in the area. Many of us know Marcella for her work in the local community, such as the Fairgreen, the current Refurbishment and as a Community Representative on RAPID.
Marcella’s Priorities
· The retention of the Cancer Services in the North West
· Planning that is Community led rather than Developer led
· Ensure Peoples interest in the Sligo Development Plan
· Retention of the Racecourse as a Recreational Amenity
· It is time to value our older citizens
· Developing the Fairgreen as soon as possible
· Oppose the Eastern Link Bridge in its present location
Marcella would welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues or indeed any issue of concern to you.
