CLLR Jennifer Whitmore and Deputy Róisín Shortall of the Social Democrats will host a public meeting titled ‘A Better Future for Wicklow’ in Wicklow town this weekend.
The meeting takes place in the Grand Hotel from 12.30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 3.

‘ This is where I got my first insight into political life. It’s also where I learned how important it is to involve the people about whom you are making decisions, into that decision making process,’ said Cllr Whitmore.
In 2014, she topped the poll in the Greystones Municipal District and was elected to the Wicklow County Council.
