Spanning over a quarter of a century, two generations of West Cork people living in an area stretching from Kinsale to Castletownbere and Bandon through Dunmanway to Bantry, Joe Walsh has been the acknowledged stalwart on the West Cork political landscape serving a constituency which has exceeded 100,000 people over the period.

From his extraordinary rise from his first election to Cork County Council, to T.D. in Dail Eireann, quickly followed by his appointment as Junior Minister and for nearly ten years, a member of the Cabinet holding the most senior position in Irish Agriculture, Ireland's singularly most successful industry, Joe has selflessly and totally committed himself to the social, political and economic needs of West Cork.
