One of Fine Gael’s local election candidates for the Letterkenny Municipal District, Bernie Moran launched her campaign on Friday, April 12.
Moran’s experience as a nurse, an employer and provider of preschool education services, gives her a real insight into the difficulties and challenges facing families in Donegal on a daily basis.
The Donegal County Council candidate feels she has the experience, knowledge, energy and enthusiasm to represent the men, women and children as a councillor.
Moran, a native of Westmeath came to Letterkenny in 1994 to train as a nurse in the hospital here and decided her home was to be Donegal.
It was here in Donegal that she met her husband Dr. Kevin Moran, a surgeon who specialises in urology and sports medicine, and volunteers as the doctor to the Donegal County GAA Senior team.
Together they have three children, Bridget (19), Patrick (18) & Sarah (16).
Bernie founded ‘The House of Fun’ Preschool Montessori School in Cashelshanaghan 16 years ago.
After many years at home caring for her children, in 2018 Bernie decided to return to nursing and now works as a practice nurse in Scally McDaid Roarty Medical Practice in Letterkenny.
Speaking at her Local Election Campaign launch in the Radisson Hotel, Joe McHugh TD, Minister for Education and Skills described Bernie as someone who has demonstrated that she has a great work ethic.
“In this room tonight there is an electric atmosphere and this has generated incredible energy,” said Minister Joe McHugh TD.
Moran concluded the evening by thanking everyone for coming and for all the support and kindness that people have shown her over the past few weeks.
“I am energised and enthusiastic about the road ahead and look forward to meeting as many people on the campaign trail over the next six weeks,” she said.
“I am very grateful for all the support and for those who have given so generously of their time to help me canvass. Both Kevin and I are very grateful for the support.”
“If you would like to have a voice in me ‘Bernie Moran’ at County Council level representing you and your community, vote for me on May 24th.”
