Hi, my name is Shea Brennan, TD for Dublin Ratdown, elected for the first time at the recent elections. Before that I was 10 years on Dunleary Ratdown County Council, where I was fortunate enough to spend a year as Cahirlok and also as last Cahirlok. My background outside of politics is in finance and banking and I have good experience internationally, having spent time with banks in Switzerland, in Zurich and in Boston. So I look forward particularly to the trade aspect of this committee.
