An active member of the People Before Profit Alliance, he has worked with a number of protest groups, focusing on anti-austerity and the upkeep of social housing. He has also campaigned nationally on issues such as protecting the national assets of Ireland.

I have always stood with people of Cork against the austerity program, unfair charges and forced privatisation of public assets.

End inequality of scarce housing, high rents, effects of austerity on the elderly and young. Incinerator must be stopped... again!

Introduce a program for abolition of water charges and property tax, fair taxation of rich and corporations, stop paying bankers' debts.
