The Donegal Green Party has confirmed its candidates for the Local Elections in Donegal.
The Chair of the Green Party in Donegal, Michael White, will run in North Inishowen (known as the Carndonagh Local Electoral Area) while Green candidate Jason Le Masurier will run in South Inishowen (the Buncrana Local Electoral Area).
Michael White is a Moville native now living in Greencastle. After studying Computer Science at Trinity College he worked abroad in Kenya, Colombia and Jamaica before returning to Ireland to work in the IT sector. He moved back to Inishowen in 2005 and runs a software business in Letterkenny with his wife Annmarie.
They have two sons in college. Michael is Chair of the Donegal Green Party, was a General Election candidate in 2020 and previously served on the Green Party’s National Executive Committee.
Nuala Carr is a native of Letterkenny and is currently completing a PhD through Queen’s University Belfast. Nuala is working at the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) on an EU funded research project to harmonise the skills and training needs for the offshore wind energy industry. With a background in ecology and her current studies in the social sciences, she is very aware of the urgent need to address the many social and environmental issues required to promote sustainable practices in local communities throughout Donegal.
Jason Le Masurier is a Chartered Civil Engineer with a 30 year career in the construction industry, and was formerly Professor of Civil Engineering at Christchurch University in New Zealand. He moved to Buncrana in 2016 with his wife Liz, originally from Carndonagh. Jason setup Buncrana Parkrun and volunteers with Inishowen Rivers Trust, the board of the Credit Union and the RNLI.
“We stand for Climate Action, Warm Homes, Safer Streets and Clean Rivers, Lakes and Sea” says Michael White. “And given that local party members are personally affected by Mica, we understand what a huge issue it is for people across Donegal”.
