Share FacebookTwitterLinkedInA West Clare farm leader has joined a new political alliance which will see three farmers contesting the Local Elections on June 7. Independent candidate, Joseph Woulfe has joined Independent Ireland following recent discussions with its main political leaders in recent weeks. Interestingly, Independent Ireland now has two candidates contesting the Kilrush Electoral AreaMr Woulfe and Kilkee-based dairy and beef farmer, Kevin Hassett. Before Mr Woulfe joined Independent Ireland, he had wrongly assumed the new alliance used a party whip system like other mainstream political parties, which is not the case. In addition to campaigning against over regulation for farmers, Mr Woulfe cites the need for more affordable housing in West Clare, the restoration of 24-hour casualty services at Ennis.
