Dear Voter,
I am asking for your vote in the General Election. I am dismayed at the distance that has grown between us, the people, and official Ireland.
I was brought up to believe that if I put people first in life I could not go far wrong. This has helped me greatly in my decision making and dealings with others both personally and professionally. Such an approach should be central to the political process.
I see a cynicism and disconnection of people from politics that is undermining the capacity of our nation to overcome our current economic and social difficulties. People are afraid. They are afraid of becoming seriously ill; afraid of losing their jobs; afraid of losing their children to emigration. It is unacceptable that the hopes and aspirations of any Irish citizen should be undermined by the failings of the State.
The Irish core value of community facilitated by a people focused political system will restore our pride as a people and our strength as a nation. I am a proud Clareman and proud Irishman. In the past Clare has led by example when Ireland needed strong courageous leadership. It can do so again. With your support, I want to be part of the process.
Yours, Dr. John Hillery
