Biography

Candon is from Sligo and advocates for ending grants to greyhound and horse racing. She seeks to stop animal testing, establish a department of animal welfare and incorporate animal welfare in education.

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

I decided to run in this election to give a voice to the voiceless (animals). I believe we need stronger advocacy and policies to protect animal welfare.

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

The greatest issue the country faces is inadequate future planning. We need to take immediate action to address climate change by investing in sustainable practices, such as building sustainable social housing and redirecting grants towards sustainable agriculture.

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

I would use the time to discuss establishing a Department of Animal Welfare. A dedicated department allows us to develop comprehensive solutions to the many animal welfare issues we face today.
