In the 2023 Council election I was re-elected as part of a strong 5-person team of Alliance Councillors with MLA Patrick Brown acting as my election agent. Patrick and I worked together to deliver my local government manifesto Restore Downpatrick as our Unchallenged County Town.
I am now back as an Independent, leading the fight-back against the Newry-based parties to Restore Downpatrick as our Unchallenged County Town.
These links will take you to my Facebook page and profile where you will see our team continuing to work day and daily for the people of Downpatrick and the Lecale Coast, North to Rowallane and Strangford Lough and South to the Mournes and Carlingford Lough.
The campaigns you see on this website mostly go back before Facebook to the 2007 to 2011 Council term and again from 2011 up to 2012. Since March 2019 I have been testing software that sends my current Facebook posts to this site – see below – It’s limited to the last dozen or so posts and I have been working on how to keep a larger number of these posts on the website.

Great work from the volunteers at Downpatrick and County Down Railway . I laid railway tracks with them for more Saturdays than I care to remember. But they are still going strong
