Biography

Elected to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council on his first attempt in 2014, this is his first time running for national office. He is a technical project manager at Saint Vincent’s Hospital and the Green Party spokesperson for communications, energy and natural resources.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?

I want to make Dún Laoghaire a more beautiful, vibrant, and healthy place to live. I have the experience and the energy to represent you.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I want to improve your quality of life: better public transport, safer routes to school, protection for tenants, invest in education.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

I will represent tenants living in insecure conditions under the constant fear of rising rents or eviction and work to reform rental.​​
