As someone born and bred and living in this area, I’m honoured to represent the people of South Central Ward. I’ve always had an interest in local politics and my late father, Mick Finn Snr, served as a councillor for this area back in the late 70s. In 2007, I worked as Parliamentary Assistant to John Dennehy TD, helping constituents to get their health entitlements (medical cards etc), social welfare allowances (disability payments, carers allowance etc), council housing, waivers and much more. At 36, I am the youngest of four. My mother, Marie, is Treasurer of the South Parish Historical Society, while my brothers Tim and Paul and sister Catherine and their own families are all active in the community. I worked in media for eight years in Ireland and Australia, before coming back to Cork where I began a long involvement with the pupils, parents, teachers and schools of the area, including: Greenmount NS; Morning Star, Maria Assumpta and Teaghlaigh Naofa in Ballyphehane; my own former schools, St Marie’s of the Isle, Deerpark CBS and Sully’s Quay; and others in Glasheen, Togher and Mahon. I started off Hurling by the Lough for primary schools in the area in 2002 which continues to grow from strength to strength, while I am also an active member of (and hurling coach) with St Finbarr’s National Hurling & Football Club. I also help Bro Ben Cusack at the Irish Youth Club in Deerpark CBS. If I can help you with anything, or if you want to know about my campaign, give me a call or a text, or drop me a note.
Mile buiochas, many thanks, dzieki
