Pat Rabbitte Visits Julianstown

Labour Party leader, Mr. Pat Rabbitte today paid a visit to Julianstown to meet a delegation of local representatives. Mr. Rabbitte took 1/2 an hour out of his busy schedule to meet representatives of the Pride of Place group and the residents' association. Mr. Rabbitte was accompanied on his visit by Labour's candidate for the forthcoming election, Mr. Dominic Hannigan.


As the party strolled from the school down to the village centre Mr Rabbitte was brought up to date on the activities of locals to improve Julianstown. The pride we have in our beautiful village was also emphasised. Mr. Rabbitte was also given an extensive briefing on the major traffic issues in the village but wasn't drawn on what his party's policy was on the issue. He pointed to major infrastructural deficiencies throughout the country. No doubt we will be hearing more on this from Mr. Hannigan in the months to come.

Rabbitte was particularly interested in child care provisions, an issue which appears to be top of the list of issues for the next election.

Mr. Rabbitte was finally presented with a paper on the issues raised along with materials supporting the importance of this issue from national and local press. The residents association will continue to escalate this in preparation for the next election.
