I sent a text to John Redican asking what I could do because I’ll be out of the country for the NSUE election.
You can get an early ballot paper - if you ask for it.
I want to vote, and also want the electorate to be as substantial as possible.
You can contact the NSUE easily.
Just log on to "NSUE.ie" and find out how.
The election is important for several reasons. It’s given people a chance to write their election case.
In my opinion the election case written by each candidate should be put up on the NSUE website for all to read - for all the public to read.
Not just members of NSUE.
You should read them: they are great. They show the quality of people working to improve mental health services in Ireland, giving voice to the users of the services.
And the voice of carers too…
though, as a user, I don’t get to see what’s going on in the election for the carers’ representative.
I intend to contact each candidate individually by email.
I’ll also publish extracts from each election statement on here.
