Elected first as a Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown county councillor in 2004, she has been consistently re-elected since. She is the former chairperson of the Transportation SPC and the county development board on DLRCC and is involved with a number of local organisations in her area.

I have 11 years of experience in local government. The next challenge is securing the future and I know I can voice the electorate well.

I look forward to delivering a housing policy which supports both private and social housing, giving comfort to families, rather than being a source of stress.

Addressing the housing shortage and supporting our local businesses to generate new jobs - both of these are top of my agenda.
