Jan O'Sullivan TD
Spokesperson on Housing & Local Government, Enterprise & Innovation

As T.D. for Limerick City, I am proud to represent the constituency in Dáil Éireann giving a voice to the people of Limerick

I am honoured to have served as Minister for Education and Skills having previously served as Minister of State with responsibility for housing and planning.

I believe passionately in the power of education to transform people’s lives.  Education was a priority for my friend and mentor, the late Jim Kemmy, and so it is for me.

While Minister I began implementing an ambitious programme of reform.  For instance, there was a new focus on educational quality at pre-school level, continued investment in the literacy and numeracy strategy at primary level and an extensive building programme to ensure our schools have the best facilities to serve a growing young population.  I was particularly pleased to deliver a new apprenticeship model that will see more employment opportunities created as the economy continues to grow.

Together with my Labour colleagues I remain committed towards building a fairer, more tolerant, more equal Ireland.
