Sean Gallagher our Cavan Man for President
Sean learned from an early age that hard work was the only way to overcome life’s difficulties. Born with congenital cataracts, he was almost blind as a child. He struggled through his early years until pioneering surgery saved his sight. Then the advice of an encouraging primary school Headmaster was to change his life: “if you can dream it, you can become it”. That advice became his life’s mantra.
At 18 Sean wrote a life plan and over the intervening years, he relentlessly pursued and achieved every one of his goals.
On leaving school he attended Agricultural College where on completion he bought a farm at the age of 21. At 26, he became a professional Youth and Community worker. By 28, he became a full time Political Adviser to the then Minister for Health, Dr. Rory O Hanlon T.D. Sean went on to take up a position as assistant CEO of Louth County Enterprise Board where he specialised in developing and presenting “start-your-own business” courses to budding entrepreneurs. He graduated with an MBA from the University of Ulster in 2000. It would be just wonderful to have a Cavan Man in the Aras and wonderful for the North-West.
