Offaly Local Development Company (OLDC) Representatives

 

Maura Allen: I have many years’ experience as a community worker serving on the board of OLDC, CO Offaly Federation I.C.A, The PPN, Clonbullogue Development Association, Hall Committee and Senior Citizens Group. I think my experience qualifies me to serve on the new panel and make a valuable contribution. My work over the years has included working towards a better environment and also to improve local facilities for local communities while acknowledging the valuable contributions of volunteers. My attendance record at meetings is very good and can be verified by the RW of Offaly PPN and CEO OLDC. I am requesting your support on this occasion and look forward to serving you.
