Hello, I’m David Kane. I’ve been a proud resident of Piltown village for 24 years, deeply engaged in our community’s well-being. With 18 years of experience at the WIT/SETU in Waterford, I’ve honed my skills in community engagement, governance, and project management – preparing me to serve you effectively on the Kilkenny Council.

Here are some of my top priorities:

• Affordable and Social Housing: I will push to address housing issues by tackling vacancy and dereliction, ensuring everyone in our community has access to affordable homes.
• Traffic Safety: Implementing appropriate traffic-calming measures is crucial for the safety and quality of life in our communities. I’m committed to making our streets safer for all.
• Youth Engagement: I will lobby for funding to provide positive outlets and activities for our youth, fostering a supportive environment for the next generation.
• Green Initiatives: Supporting community-driven green initiatives is essential. I aim to promote sustainability through local projects that benefit our environment and economy.
• Healthcare: Working towards a comprehensive and inclusive healthcare system is paramount. I will advocate for improved local health services to ensure better health outcomes for our community.

As your councillor, I am dedicated to bridging the gap between residents and the systems that affect us, ensuring our community’s needs are met and voices are heard. Let’s work together to bring about the change South Kilkenny deserves.
