He wants to push for improved health services.
It's 'impossible' to get access to a GP in West Offaly, according to a Local Election Candidate.
Independent rep in Birr, Michael Deegan, says he hopes the development of a new Primary Care Centre will help improve health services in the area, but pressure must be put on the local authority.
Work on the site began in March, and it's expected to be operational in 2026.
Mr. Deegan says he wants to push for greater staffing in health services in Offaly:
