Vanessa Mulhall
I will champion South County Dublin as a living, breathing community, where everyone can life their best life, in a secure, healthy, joyful way.
I am delighted and honoured to represent my community on South Dublin County Council. As a political assitant with Francis Noel Duffy, your local Green Party TD, my role which has afforded me greater community engagement and my full attention to dedicate to the community.
I attend and contribute to the Tallaght Bus Forum and the Drugs task force, where I have engaged with various ministers who have assisted me in bringing services and funding to Tallaght. I have also worked with a number of schools in Tallaght and engaged with the Department on their behalf.
Protect our amazing natural environments and work to keep a balance in development and nature.
It is of paramount importance that our road infrastructure suports all road users - cyclists, motorists and pedestrians - and allows our children, older people and those with disabilities to travel safely.
Show our youth, through example, that our way through climate anxiety is through positive action in our local community and beyond.
Learn about, and develop locally, new opportunities for business, technology, and innovation, that can benefit and support our community.
Experience
I grew up in the Tallaght Central LEA, attending St Martin De Porres National School & Old Bawn Community School. I went on to study Community and Youth Work in Maynooth University. The programme involves the development and empowerment of communities, and facilitating the active participation of people in addressing issues that affect them collectively, I have used my education to inform my activism in Tallaght, always open to engage and work with all communit stakeholders.
Up until recently, I was an active member of Thomas Davies GAA, playing with the killer B's ladies team. I am an active member of Tallaght Wheelers, therefore understand and advocate for better cycling infrastructure that works for everyone, cyclist, pedestrian and car drivers.
