Deirdre MacCormack

Social Inclusion College Representative

Deirdre lives in Blessington with her husband and 3 children and is actively involved in a diverse range of community groups and projects across the county as well as being a Director of the Blessington & District Community Employment Scheme.

Since founding the Community Pool for West Wicklow campaign in 2018 Deirdre has carried out significant work highlighting the gaps in services across West Wicklow and calling for the need for investment in and development of the infrastructure across the west of the county, including accessible sports facilities, community amenities and improved public transport services. Through her work as Wicklow Pride’s West Wicklow Rep and as a member of the Blessington Welcomes committee Deirdre has worked with a wide variety of groups, businesses and individuals to help promote and support a welcoming and inclusive community across West Wicklow.

Deirdre’s work as a volunteer combined with her almost 20 years’ experience working in the public and private sector have made her a strong and passionate advocate for the development of key infrastructure and supports in our towns and villages across Wicklow. As a PPN representative Deirdre will continue to work to ensure that the needs of all members of our communities are taken into account as Wicklow works to become a more accessible, sustainable and inclusive place to live, work and play.
