It’s time for a new voice

I’m Alan Dillon, and I’m seeking your No 1 vote in the upcoming General Election. People recognise me for my commitment and dedication in representing this county on the pitch for 15 years. Now it’s time for me to make a positive impact in national politics.

A new politics for a new Ireland

Why I want to represent you

I’m no stranger to public life on the GAA pitch for over 15 years, but off the pitch I know I can make a positive contribution to national politics that will impact the people and communities of the Mayo constituency.

Bringing pride, passion and assertiveness to the political field I will ensure issues that matter to you are progressed with conviction.

Championing business, families and youth, I’ll be a reliable and trusted public representative holding onto the Fine Gael seat in Castlebar, vacated by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny. Make no mistake, at national politics, policies that transform communities are those that are progressive and relevant to Ireland today.
