Seán Ó Buachalla

Seán Ó Buachalla (29) is secretary of the Meath Greens, chair of the
national party's Irish language policy group and a long-time Green
Party member in Meath.

He ran for the party in the general election in 2007 and the 2009
local elections. He lives outside Dunboyne and was educated at
Rathbeggan NS, Coláiste Mhuire at Parnell Square, Dublin, and NUI
Maynooth, from which he graduated with a degree in Nua-Ghaeilge and
History. He currently works as an Irish translator and was the
original chairperson of the Gaelscoil Ráth Tó founding committee and
currently sits on its board of management.

His mother is a Duffy from Ratoath and his father is a retired ESB
civil engineer from Cork. He has a particular interest in local Meath
history and genealogy and he is currently conducting research on
literature and culture in the Irish language in Meath and north
Leinster in the 18th century.   His main issues are a proper public
transport network for Meath and the extension of the Dunboyne rail
link to Navan, investment in education and schools, the development of
local clinics to relieve pressure on the health service and more
emphasis on health education, tax breaks and grants for renewable
energy.
