A print journalist, broadcaster and news anchor, Comyn has worked in the media for more than 30 years. Her work on UTV Ireland won the IFTA award for the Best News programme for Brexit coverage in 2016.

I’m running because Louth needs a strong local voice in Government. I am passionate about our region reaching its full potential. As a local journalist for 20 years, I know the issues that affect our daily lives, and I’m deeply connected to the community of Ireland’s next city.

Having a secure roof over your head is a basic human right which is still out of reach for many families. When in Government, it will be one of my key aims to ensure there are a large variety of routes for everyone, to make the dream of owning your own home a reality.

I firmly believe Drogheda needs to be Ireland’s next city, and restoring local government to Drogheda, with a dedicated city manager, will be the first step to our recovery.
