He is a 25 year old Naas area native, having grown up in Caragh and attended Naas CBS. He qualified from Dublin City University three years ago, and since then has been working in online marketing for Paddy Power.
Robert became interested in politics at a young age with his father Seán and grandfather Paddy having served over 40 years between them in Dáil Éireann. Since 2011, Robert has been actively involved in party reform and public policy debates. Most recently, he has joined the Fianna Fáil Enterprise committee led by Dara Calleary.
His particular interests are youth employment, the 'brain drain' of young people via emigration, and the tough job market for newly qualified graduates.
This information is taken from the Kildare Fianna Fail website. We will be talking to Rob Power and all other candidates over the coming months to establish their views on the issues in Kilcullen.
