Regina Doherty’s priorities include …

 

Education

• Build a permanent school for St Pauls NS and fast-track the construction of permanent facilities for the proposed Gaelscoil.

Traffic

• Prioritise the completion of the Ratoath outer-ring road and ban HGVs from the centre of Ratoath village.

Social Cohesion

• Additional community Gardai visible in the community, especially on evenings and weekends.
• Encourage a spirit of inclusiveness in community activities, to restore a sense of belonging to young people and senior citizens.

Planning

• Implement community and council-led planning, instead of the current short-term approach, which only suits developers.

Enterprise and Employment

• Increased funding for the County Enterprise Boards and Enterprise Ireland to boost employment.
• Increased funding for FAS to retrain construction workers for new opportunities.
