Cllr Thomasina Connell, Cathaoirleach of Laois County Council, is the special guest on our latest episode of the LaoisToday Podcast.
She discusses how she got into politics, the experience of going for election and what the role of Cathaoirleach actually entails.
Arguing that Laois, as a county, need to be proud of what we have and have to offer, she touches on two considerable projects in Portlaoise – the new library and the development of a new bus service for the town.
Plus she chats about her political ambitions and how she hopes she’ll be on the ticket for Fine Gael for the next General Election.
