Posted by Alan Kelly on October 06, 2011 at 11:41 AM

I'd like to say a big Thank You to all the local supporters and well-wishers who greeted Michael D Higgins during his recent visit to Nenagh. The presidential candidate met local supporters at the my office last Monday and proceeded to meet and greet locals in the town for a considerable time afterwards.The crowd stands as a testimony to the support that Michael has in this campaign. Needless to say I give my whole-hearted support to Michael and his campaign.  The group met with various members of the town, including Peter Ward, with whom the presidential candidate had a good chat about creativity in the food industry in rural Ireland.Mayor Virginia O’Dowd and Stephen Slattery: Chair of Nenagh Castle Development Association then showed Michael D around the Nenagh Castle site: a project that Michael had allocated funds to when he was Minister for the Arts. Michael was thrilled with the reception he received here and is looking forward to engaging in what will be one of the most exciting presidential campaigns ever.For me Michael is the standout candidate and the person the country needs right now. He has stood up for what he has believed in all his life without fear or favour and I think that is the kind of politician we need in the Aras.
