Minihan co-opted onto Dublin City Council
Dublin Sinn Féin’s Louise Minihan was this week co-opted onto Dublin City Council after Ballyfermot Councillor Tony Smithers stepped down due to family commitments. Councillor Minihan said she looked forward to working with the other Dublin Sinn Féin Councillors on implementing Sinn Féin’s vision for Dublin.
Minihan will work as a full time councillor in the Ballyfermot Ward and aims to focus on addressing the many issues facing the people of Ballyfermot such as the lack of social and affordable housing, the lack of affordable childcare places, anti-social behaviour and the drugs crisis.
Speaking after her co-option on Monday evening Minihan thanked Tony Smithers for all the hard work he has done in Ballyfermot and wish him and his family all the best with their future plans. She also thanked her family, partner, son and the Sinn Féin organisation in Ballyfermot for the support and encouragement they had shown.
