Daren Lalor from Umricam has been a Sinn Fein councillor since 2004. I met up with him in the new offices up above the An Tuath Nua bar, West End on Upper Main street in Buncrana to talk about his 1999 Ford Galaxy 1.9 diesel. “The offices are a great resource for the party and there is also a room that community groups and resident committees can use free of charge. At present we also have Irish Language classes running. Irish is a growing language and this is highlighted by the new secondary school, Cineal Eoghain that has recently opened in Tullyarvan mill.
Daren also feels that it is important for people to set up residents committees on housing estates in the town “Forming a committee gives areas a stronger voice when lobbying for improvements. Community groups can also help with the integration of people who are new to the area. Like all countries, we have a very rich culture and it is important that we share customs. It is important that we do not make the same mistakes as other countries when it comes to integration” Daren can be contacted at his office 93 42160
How long have you had the car?
I have had the car for nearly four years. It was the newest car I have ever owned.
Any plans to change?
Not at the moment. It is a familiar part of the family and as we have four children it is ideal to have the seven seats. (One seat for the carrier bag to hold all of the rubbish that accumulates in the back!)
Is it reliable?
It has served me very well. It did let me down once when I was driving to Birmingham. The clutch cable snapped. I carried on regardless as I had the children with me and didn’t want to be stuck on the hard shoulder.
Best thing about the car?
The space inside is fantastic for the kids.
How often do you wash it?
I usually wash it when the children complain that they can’t see out of the windows!
What would you do to help motorists given the chance?
Abolish VRT and then refund members of the public that have been conned into parting with their money.
What would you really like to be driving around in?
A newer version of the car I have would be fine for now.
