‘If someone is qualified for a job then age shouldn’t matter’

GRINDING down shoe leather for the past 12 months, first-time Fine Gael South Central candidate Emmet O’Halloran maintains being a newcomer this time out is proving to be a help rather than a hindrance.

Young, enthusiastic and offering a fresh voice, the Turner’s Cross man believes people are ready for change and are embracing fresh faces on the doorstep.

And, he says, his passion for politics, Cork and a deep sense of community spirit are the reasons why he should be voted in.
