My profile and policies; Daithi Stephens.

I am a 59 year old father of seven adult children and grandfather of seven, GAA junkie and former Chairman of Dunderry GAA and Camogie Clubs. I have been coming to Dunderry since 1954 to my mother’s people the Mc Cormacks of Churchtown and living here since 1986. The eldest of nine siblings reared in Blanchardstown and former Chairman of St.Brigids GAA Club.
Worked in Public service for over 30 years and currently working a small farm and helping small self employed and unemployed people navigate the multiple hurdles they are required to jump in order to survive.

Having seen life from both sides I am certain that anybody with a public service job or pension, no matter how severely cut is in heaven compared to the self employed and unemployed who are in a permanent hell of over-regulation by a dysfunctional political and administrative systems.

I am disgusted by the transformation of the country into an effective open prison by overregulation of ordinary people, the enactment of unnecessary and oppressive laws and the lingering death of rural and provincial towns.

Dont trust main political parties. Remember false promises re.Lisbon 2.

I survived a stroke in 2009 in Navan hospital. Was appalled to discover that stroke patients hospitalised there never had available to them the clot busting medication which can greatly ameliorate the effects of stroke, medication available in all decently functional hospitals for many years. This was only rectified in 2010.

I know only too well the score re treatment of disabilities.

I will pursue policies of compassion, generousity and help of those who need it, especially mortgage holders.
