Welcome to Speaker

Welcome to Speaker: The Voice of Kildare's Local Politics

Speaker is your front-row seat to the pulse of Kildare's political scene. My name is Treasa Keegan. With over 2000 members in our vibrant Facebook group, we're stepping into the podcasting arena to bring the conversations even closer to you.

Each episode of Speaker promises insightful interviews with not just local electoral candidates, but also in time we will invite key figures in national politics. We dive deep into the issues that matter most to our community, from urban development and public services to environmental concerns and educational services. Our podcast is more than just a platform for political debates; it’s a space where the voices of Kildare are heard, discussed, and respected.

Whether you’re deeply embedded in the local political fabric or just looking to stay informed, Speaker offers something for everyone. Engage with us as we explore diverse viewpoints, challenge the status quo, and shed light on both the people and policies shaping the future of Kildare.

Join us on Speaker and be part of the conversation that drives change right here at home.
