Biography

Kilbride is a former Fine Gael Longford county councillor. He is also a former broadcaster and businessman. He is now running as an Independent candidate.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

As an Independent candidate I realise that so many issues are important and political parties must work within party lines. I work for the people as an Independent and I know people have a choice.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority is to represent the people of Longford/Westmeath who have enough faith to elect me as their TD.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

I would immediately ensure that as many of the promises that I have made can be included in a government programme.
