Tom Spillane

A grassroots environmental campaigner for a number of years, Tom took up the role of Environmental Rep for Clare PPN on Clare’s Physical Development SPC in October 2024.

Tom is a student of Planning & Environmental management at TU Dublin. He is specialising in Planning and has a keen interest in the environmental focused modules. After college he hopes to work at local authority level. As someone who has spent much of his childhood in the west of Ireland, he places a huge value on strong community and connection to the environment.

Through his years of environmental campaigning Tom has gained extensive knowledge on environmental issues, some of which are core areas of the Physical Development SPC, e.g. water and environment. He looks forward to furthering his knowledge in this area.
