Biography

Fahy is a housing and environmental activist who has also organised workers in trade unions.

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

To give people in Limerick a Socialist alternative to the mé féin politics of the establishment parties.

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

The lack of secure, affordable housing is driving young people to emigrate and taking away the chance for families to grow and flourish. Too much money and energy has been spent on making developers happy instead of the state stepping in to solve the housing crisis through direct build public housing.

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

The need to provide proper 24/7 access to healthcare in Ennis, Nenagh and St. John’s to take the pressure off of UHL and end the fear people in Limerick City have of getting sick.
