Bláithín Gallagher
With a proven track record and commitment to grassroots representation, I am determined to deliver for Sligo-Leitrim.
Grassroots Representation: I understand the importance of representing diverse voices and I will champion a balanced representation at council level. Supporting our youth is critical for the party's future.
Our Shared Island : I commit to building unity, ensuring all voices feel welcome, embracing the diversity of our pluralist civic society.
An Gaeilge: Tá an Ghaeilge ríthábhachtach dár bhféiniúlacht uathúil. Cuimsíonn sé ár gcultúr agus ár n-oidhreacht. Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam. Má thoghtar mé, cinnteoidh mé go bhfuil ár dteanga dhúchais chun tosaigh agus lárnach.
Experience
During my four years on the Executive Committee, I served twice as National Coordinator, steering the party through challenges including negotiations for the Programme for Government and leadership elections. I remained neutral, utilising my facilitation, mediation, and leadership skills to successfully guide us. As chair of North West Greens, I have retained and built our members, securing candidates in all six LEAs in Sligo-Leitrim. My commitment to the party is unwavering, co-convening the Shared Island Policy group and contributing to policy groups (Disability and Rural, whose policies recently passed through Policy Council). I sit on the Mná Glasa committee.
