To fight for a future for everyone who works and wants to work in this city. Too many young people don't see a future in Dublin and Ireland, it breaks my heart. There are so many in good jobs with decent incomes and yet they cannot afford to affordably rent or buy.

The cost of living. People are working hard and struggling to get by. I want to champion programmes such as retrofitting homes, building an affordable childcare system where workers are paid their fair dues, transforming our housing system and investing in our communities and programmes that support those struggling to get by.

How we can support working people. There's a lot of talk, with few solutions. I don't believe the current government has working people at the heart of its agenda. Accessible retrofitting, childcare, healthcare - expenses add up, we need the government to step up and invest into working people.
