Like his fellow candidate,   Honore Kamegni, Gavin has announced his candidacy via the Green Party and is already moving around the area, showing his commitment to the people of the Carrigaline area.   Good Morning Gavin, you’re welcome here to a chat mixed with tea/coffee and a little politics.

A cup of tea is a great comfort and a reason to take a break, relax, and
