National Ploughing Association director, Anna May McHugh says the treatment of Politicians spurs on her lack of interest in getting involved in politics.
Speaking during a video interview with LaoisToday, McHugh said: “I think even a County Councillor gets a terrible time, the phone never stops ringing.
It’s the same with the politicians. If they say something that doesn’t suit somebody they’re on their back about it.”
The Ballylinan woman said she has no interest in getting involved in politics despite have been approached to do so and potentially being the perfect candidate.
“When I was much younger people would say ‘Why don’t you run?”
“I have (been approached). All the politicians come to us. I just have no interest,” Anna May explained.
Anna May and her daughter Anne Marie spoke to Laois Today about all things Ploughing in a video interview that will air in full over the Christmas period.
