European candidate and former jockey Nina Carberry at campaign launch for Marian Agrios

Excitement is in the air as the campaign for Marian Agrios gears up for a great evening with MEP candidate Nina Carberry as she launches her official campaign to stand as the Drogheda Rural candidate in the upcoming local elections.

The event takes place this Friday in Flynn’s Pub, Termonfeckin, from 7pm.

“At the heart of my campaign is a commitment to community engagement. Through open dialogue and active listening, I want to understand the diverse perspectives that shape our society, promising to prioritise the needs of every constituent, ensuring that no voice goes unheard,” says Marian.

“I’m ready to tackle the pressing issues facing our communities, from healthcare and education, issues that the disabled have to deal to the social isolation facing our older people.

“This launch marks the beginning of a journey towards positive change and we invite everyone to be part of it”.
