He was elected as an Independent candidate to Dublin City Council in 2014 on his first attempt. A graduate of history and politics from Trinity College Dublin, he recently joined the Social Democrats and is a member of the Dublin City Joint Policing Committee.

I'm an issue formed politician. My interest in politics was attained through the environment in which I grew up and a desire to contribute.

For me, the #1 priority in my constituency is educational inequality. We have one of the lowest 3rd level progression rates in the country.

I would like to convene a meeting of all educational bodies in my constituency (from pre-school to post leaving cert).
