June Dillon

Clare

June Dillon, a community nurse currently working in the Primary Care sector, with experience in both urban and rural areas of Co. Clare. June is married to Kieran, a farmer and has four children. Aontú feel June is well qualified to represent her county in the general election on a range of diverse issues.

She holds a BA in Public Administration, a Diploma in Youth and Community Work, a BSc in General and Children’s Integrated Nursing and and an MSc in Older Person Rehabilitation.

In the past June has volunteered overseas working with children in Ethiopia, and has volunteered at home with a homeless charity and adult literacy.

June is a member of her local Defibrilator Fundraising Group and

her husband is a volunteer coach with St. Mary’s AC. June is very interested in local history and culture, and appreciates greatly the volunteers who give their time to keep community rural life alive for all age groups.

June has decided to run in this election because she feels passionately that the people of Clare are being left behind by the current government. She is especially concerned about rural isolation and decline, supports for family carers, farmer stressors and regional development. The past 14 years has seen a FG government with little to show by way of improvement in everyday lives.

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
