First elected in 2007, Mr Feighan was then appointed as a TD for Sligo Leitrim in the 2020 general election.

The father of two is vocal about what he has brought to the community when in office, including a new school in Ballinamore, along with a new nursing unit and primary care centre for the area.

The Teachta Dála for the Sligo-Leitrim constituency was also successful in securing funding to purchase the old MBNA building, and advancing the SLNR greenway project and the Glenfarne Wood Amenity Park in North Leitrim.

His biggest achievements to date include receiving over €40 million in funding under various measures through the Department of Rural and Community Development which was record funding for a county with a population the size of Leitrim, and securing €17 million under three funding measures for the Shannonside Regional Sports Campus at Carrick-on-Shannon.

He says he is  “proud of my work in Leitrim, and I want the opportunity to continue that investment for Leitrim, I need your number one vote to do that.”
