Davy Walsh has been a member of Waterford City council for over 30 years. He was
the first councillor to oppose water charges. Davy is Chairman of the Board of Management of Waterford College of Further
Eduction and has been a longtime advocate of university status for WIT. He is also a member of Education Training Board,
ETB.
Davy supports and welcomes Waterford's second bridge and the new roads network but is totally opposed to
tolling. He is opposed to the proposed Eirgrid electricity pylons and power lines and calls for these lines to be put
underground so as to preserve the natural beauty of the Comeragh Mountains.

He has been living at St. Dominic's Place for almost 15 years but was originally from Clarke's Road in the Cork Road estate.

their spouses all worked at Waterford Crystal, both in Kilbarry and Butlerstown.
