Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?
As a Dublin City Councillor for the last eight years, I've had the privilege to work with many community organisations across the Dublin South Central area. I have been fighting to fix the lack of funding and resources for youth services, childcare, housing, community and arts spaces and seirbhísí gaeilge.
What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?
There is a serious lack of public and affordable housing, regeneration and proper maintenance of social housing. When talking about the housing crisis we often forget about the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society, like people seeking security and refuge from domestic violence.
What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?
The Irish language. I would like to promote the Irish language and further investment into Irish language schools, communities and cultural developments.
