Sean Gallagher for President - Time For Change.

01 July 2010 Posted by: Editor
“The current challenges facing the country need to be tackled by addressing the key issues of enterprise and job creation, developing a sense of national confidence and restoring our reputation internationally, while continuing to develop an inclusive society”

“People I believe are looking for our next President to be relevant to the current challenges facing the country. Just as Mary Robinson’s Presidency was about inclusion and bringing people in from the margins and reaching out to the Irish Diaspora and Mary McAleese’s Presidency has been about building bridges between North and South and Ireland and the UK, I believe the focus and the theme of the next Presidency should be about getting Ireland back to work, restoring our confidence at home and our reputation abroad.”

“In being relevant to these challenges, I believe our next President should help lead the national drive for economic recovery and more importantly, job creation. People I work with in every sector of our society and every corner of our island, in business and community groups tell me that there is a real need for leadership and I believe that our next President could and should play a key role in this drive.”

Time for change

“In response to the current challenges facing the country, I have decided to give serious consideration to the consistent calls to me, from people in business, community organisations, and disability groups, with whom I work with, to offer myself as an Independent candidate, with a clear understanding of what is needed to help rebuild our country.”

Consultation

“I have already begun the process of meeting with members of the Oireachtas. I’m happy to have received support from Independent Senator Feargal Quinn for my potential candidacy and I believe he shares my vision for the type of Presidency that the country needs at this time. I am currently meeting with other Oireachtas members to discuss this. In parallel with this I will seek the advice of people in all walks of life, including the areas of enterprise and job creation, disability and community, the three areas that I spend my time working in.”

Decision

“While there are many who question the value of the office of President, in our economic climate, I believe that the office could be used constructively to address these very challenges.

In that context will give serious consideration to running for President and will make that decision known in the coming weeks.”
