Biography

Born and raised in Foxborough, Colm Quinn runs a carpentry and flooring business. His focuses are employment, infrastructure and housing.

Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?

Because of the extreme lack of housing, inept and chaotic mismanagement of immigration and the cost-of-living crisis. This government has no moral or social compass. It has not delivered on its promises and the Irish people deserve better.

What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?

A lack of leadership and political will and total disregard for taxpayers money, whether it’s the children’s hospital or bike sheds, each time a euro is wasted it is a euro not being put back into our economy to provide homes and improve our infrastructure. We need to solve these problems to build a better future for struggling families.

What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?

I would speak about providing a brighter and better future, giving people hope and putting to bed these dark and wasteful years that this government has brought upon us.
