“Michael's deep commitment to social justice and the power of community reflects the core values of Aontú” a party spokesperson said. “He has consistently challenged the status quo, as seen during the Care Referendum, where he played a key role in defeating government proposals that did not serve the people of Louth.

“As a former Mayor of Drogheda and long-serving member of Louth County Council, Michael brings extensive experience and dedication to his campaign.

“A family man with three adult children, including a son with a disability, Michael understands the challenges families face today. He is deeply concerned about the future and is committed to being an unrivalled voice for Louth.

Michael's words resonate with many:

''Beidh an toghchán seo ríthábhachtacht . They tell us the economy is booming, but my family doesn’t feel it. Prices are rising, and housing is becoming unattainable for young people. Developers have taken control, but where are the facilities to match?"

“Michael will be a candidate for all the constituency, from Bettystown Beach to Carlingford Lough and the Cooley Peninsula, ensuring that every community's voice is heard” the spokesperson continued.

“If you share Aontú's values of compassion, responsibility, and community, stand with Michael O'Dowd. Together, we can build a stronger, more united Ireland where everyone is valued and supported. Join us in working towards a fairer, more caring society for all. Vótáil Michael O'Dowd No.1.”

Las Palmas Cantina Bringing Mexican Riviera to DT Chandler
Chef Michael O’Dowd to Head Yucatan-Inspired Restaurant

(PRESS RELEASE) Julian Wright of Tempe’s Pedal Haus Brewery and other popular local concepts like Canteen Modern Tequila Bar (formerly in Tempe,) is opening a new restaurant in Downtown Chandler in May. Las Palmas Cantina (95 W. Boston) brings the food, drink and relaxed coastal vibe of the Mexican Riviera to Chandler’s burgeoning downtown culinary scene. Renown Chef Michael O’Dowd is returning to Phoenix to lead the sand-to-table menu that he describes as “Yucatan-inspired cuisine with an emphasis on coastal dishes.”

After annual trips to Mexico exploring beach towns like Playa Del Carmen and Tulum, Wright had been looking for the best place to bring all the elements of the culture and lifestyle of this tropical region to his next concept.  

Las Palmas Cantina will make the most of its 5,000 sqft indoor / outdoor space with a mix of restaurant seating, two bars, and two patios – including a lively elevated deck area reminiscent of the region’s beach-side cafes. With the addition of garage-style doors in both the front and back of the building, it will be possible to see from the pedestrian-friendly Boston Street clear through to the elevated back patio for the first time in the history of this 100-year-old building.

“I’m looking forward to being a part of downtown Chandler and to bringing one of my favorite regions of the world to this community,” said Wright. “ I love that Chandler is still very independent. Everyone is still very much your neighbor.” 

Chef Michael O’Dowd is known as a culinary maverick who has created award-winning menu programs that celebrate authentic ingredients from indigenous cultures. As the driving force behind the culinary concepts for Kai at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, he was the first to merge Native American ingredients with globa
