Gould has been a councillor on Cork City Council since first elected in 2009. He unsuccessfully contested the 2016 general election in Cork North-Central and also ran in the 2019 by-elections.

I have a very good track record - I highlighted the issue of housing back in 2009 and I was dismissed as trying to create hysteria. If I had been listened to, we would not have a housing crisis now.

Housing - 70% of the problems I deal with relate to housing. Beyond social housing, I see the problem of people who get jobs and come off the waiting list for council housing, but can’t get mortgages.

I want to tackle the waiting list and trolley crisis and I want to work to stop the neglect of Cork North-Central.
