Shane Brennan for Alyn and Deeside

Plaid Cymru has chosen Shane Brennan as their candidate for Alyn and Deeside in May's Welsh Assembly elections. Shane is a 30-year-old bank worker and has been a party activist since he moved to Wales from his native Ireland in 2002 to study at Aberystwyth. Since then Shane has worked in legal practice as well as the financial sector.  Shane is a committed socialist and internationalist.
 He said: "It was ordinary members of Plaid Cymru who put the biggest effort into campaigning for a Yes vote in Thursday’s referendum and their efforts have been rewarded with the overwhelming vote in favour of law-making powers for the Welsh people.
 "It is clear from this result that in north-east Wales a lot has changed since 1997 and the people of Alyn and Deeside now need a stronger voice in the Senedd.
 "The Tory/Lib Dem government want to slash the Welsh representation in Westminster by a quarter. They have launched an onslaught on public services that will see Flintshire workers lose their jobs and key services put under threat.
 "Now, more than ever, we need a socialist voice to protect and progress the needs of the people of Alyn and Deeside, and this can now be achieved by the people of Wales for the people of Wales. Plaid is the only party not answerable to the London political elite and can truly act in the interests of the people of Wales. We will fight to ensure that the cuts do not fall on the most vulnerable industrial areas in north-east Wales.
  "It would be an honour to serve the people of Alyn and Deeside and one that I would undertake with passion and commitment."

    Pob lwc Shane - given the massive swings in Flintshire in the referendum, are we heading for a shock victory in A+D?

    Now, more than ever, we need a socialist voice to protect and progress the needs of the people of Alyn and Deeside - we've got one Carl Sargeant

    Anonymous- sorry I can't find any claims by Carl Sargeant to be a socialist,if he is one does this mean he was opposed to the cuts to legal aid, a blatant attack on the most vulnerable in society, instigated by the Labour party?
