She ran for South Dublin County Council in the 2014 local elections but failed to secure a seat. A community activist and shop worker, she founded the local group Balgaddy Working Together and is opposed to the water charges.

My politics and that of The Workers' Party is of standing up for working class people against the politics of austerity and capitalism.

My priority is to solve the housing crisis by providing decent, high quality public housing to all who require it.

Turn the tide against austerity - scrap water charges, hold a referendum on public ownership of natural resources, invest in public housing.
