Paula Butterly, TD

From a proud Louth farming community, Paula Butterly truly understands the issues facing you and your family. Her early business career took her to Italy, but she returned home in 2016 and changed course, being called to the Bar in 2021. Since then, she has been a dedicated member of Louth County Council. 

As a mother, daughter, and sister to a brother with complex medical needs, Paula knows firsthand the challenges of balancing work with caring for family. She hears daily from people worried about the future and is committed to ensuring you and your family get the services you need. 

Paula’s Priorities 

Farming and Rural Communities: Rural Ireland offers both opportunities and challenges. Paula is dedicated to helping our rural communities by supporting and protecting rural businesses and farms, which are vital to sustainable jobs and vibrant communities. 

Families: Paula wants to ensure our children receive the proper care and education to help them thrive. This means more school places, better school transport, and additional supports for children with special needs. She also advocates for necessary supports to help the elderly stay in their homes and stay active in local communities. 

Enterprise: SMEs need continued support during these challenging times, as well as assistance to grow and be sustainable in the future. Paula believes the VAT rates for retail and hospitality need urgent review. She is committed to faster regeneration of our towns and villages through more efficient planning, safer streets, and better amenities.
