Cork East Candidate John Mulvihill

People who know John Mulvihill will tell you that I am passionate about fighting for my area through politics. When I have worked for change in the past, I have fought tooth and nail for my beliefs and worked across years to get results for East Cork. I have done this effectively in government and in Cork County Council.

We all know that we will soon be rid of this disgraceful government – but that’s not enough. We now have a great chance to change the way our country is run. I believe that the leadership of Eamon Gilmore and the policies of the Labour Party give us the best chance of re-building a great country for future generations. And in East Cork, I’d like to be your passionate voice, fighting for the needs of the constituency and the good of the country.

So, who you vote for really matters. We now have 50 days to gain an extra seat in East Cork and do what has never been done before – to elect a Labour-led Government. A Government of One Ireland, that is driven by the concerns of the many, not the insider-few.

We are blessed in East Cork to have some great natural assets – from a world-class tourism product, to great farming resources to a proud tradition in industry. We must now get better at using these assets to get our people back to work.

Below are some of the issues that I am passionate about:

* East Cork Tourism – The great beauty of the coastline from Youghal to Cobh and the beautiful towns and countryside throughout the constituency are up with the best in the country. We need to step out of the shadows of other areas and deliver growth in tourism jobs in the area.
* Protecting the Environment in East Cork. I’ve long campaigned against changes that destroy our environment such as pylons. We can work together to work out sensible solutions that allow industry to progress without destroying our environment.
* Infrastructure – Throughout my political life I’ve been fighting for improved access to the area. The government blew the boom and projects such as the Fota road still lie ignored. We need access if we have any hope of growing jobs in tourism and industry.

If you have any issue that you are passionate about, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone, email or on twitter and Facebook
