Stephen Egan, who will be running for Fianna Fáil in the forthcoming local elections
Local businessman Stephen Egan was recently confirmed as Fianna Fáil’s second candidate in the Dundalk South constituency for the forthcoming local elections.
The Blackrock man, who runs Panama Coffee in the Market Square in Dundalk, will be running alongside Declan Breathnach in May’s election.
Son of the late Paddy Egan of the ESB and Ann Egan, the former principal of Blackrock primary school, Stephen – like many others of his generation – was forced to emigrate in the 1990s. During that period he was based in Luxembourg and South America, where he worked in the financial markets.
He returned to live in Blackrock and set up Panama Coffee in 2012, where he currently employs four people.
Stephen is a past pupil of St Mary’s College in Dundalk and has a degree in European business with French from the University of Ulster. Fluent in French and Spanish, he has also recently been studying for an MBA.
Married to Anna and a father of two, Stephen is a keen sports enthusiast having played minor GAA with the Geraldines and Louth and rugby with Dundalk RFC and Leinster U-18s. He also won several international caps with the Luxembourg national team during his time there.
Stephen said he is proud to be representing Fianna Fáil in the forthcoming elections and said: “I want to hear from local families, individuals and community groups and find out what really matters to them and how we can work together for a better, more prosperous community in the area.
“I want to be a positive voice for the region,” he said.
Amongst the areas Stephen has identified as needing attention in the area are:
