Longford Municipal District Meet the Candidate: Niall Gannon, Fine Gael
Niall Gannon is a new Fine Gael candidate in Longford town. Married to Orlaith, he is a proud parent of four young children.
His commitment to education has been evident since 1998, when he began teaching at St Michael’s Boys National School, Longford. For 8 years, Niall served as the school’s home-school liaison officer, ensuring that local families received the best possible educational support.
Outside of the classroom, Niall is an active member of several community organisations, including the Longford Musical Society, Backstage Theatre, and Longford Town Football Club.
His involvement extends to charitable events in both the town and county. Additionally, Niall spent four years as the President of Longford Lions Club.
As a founding member of the Longford Triathlon Club, Niall promotes health and fitness and is coach to various underage sports teams.
As a first-time candidate, Niall wants to hear from the local community on how to enhance Council services and facilities for those who call Longford home. He will draw on his experience to improve the quality of life for those in the Longford area and its environs.
Niall wants to make Longford a better place to live for everyone, with more affordable housing, better utilisation and development of community facilities and the regeneration of Longford town centre.
Niall respects and values every vote and if elected, will work tirelessly to deliver for the people of Longford.
