Independent Ireland is proud to announce William Carton as their candidate for Kildare South in the upcoming general election. A proud resident of Ballytore, Co. Kildare.

William, a dedicated husband and father of three, brings both experience and commitment to public service, working in Kildare County Council’s roads division. His firsthand knowledge of local issues and strong community involvement make him a standout choice for the people of Kildare South.

"Willie Carton is exactly the type of candidate Independent Ireland is proud to support,” said Party Leader Michael Collins TD. He narrowly missed election to Kildare County Council, but with his passion and drive, he is ready to hit the election trail hard to represent his community in Dáil Éireann.  We need people like him—driven, passionate, and ready to work alongside experienced voices to deliver real change."

Richard O’Donoghue TD, General Secretary of Independent Ireland, echoed this sentiment: “William Carton is a strong addition to Independent Ireland. His dedication to Kildare South and his practical approach to problem-solving in his own community will be an invaluable asset in Dáil Éireann. Willie has our full support as he brings fresh energy and commitment to Kildare.”

Deeply connected to the people of Kildare South, William has been an active presence in his community, from events like the recent St. Laurence’s GAA Oskars night fundraiser to engaging with local families and businesses about their needs. “When I look around Kildare South, I see all that we can accomplish,” William said. “We need strong voices advocating for housing, fair rural planning, healthcare access, and a common-sense approach to immigration. I joined Independent Ireland because it offers a real path to change, and I’m proud to represent these values in our constituency.”

As an Independent Ireland candidate, William Carton is committed to listening and working alongside Kildare South’s residents to bring practical solutions to the issues they face. "With your support, I’m ready to work closely with my colleagues in Independent Ireland to bring positive change to Kildare South. We need action on housing, healthcare, and local planning, and I’m looking forward to tackling these issues with and for our community.”
