Young People are the present and the future, and need a voice in politics. We must stop selling out our future!
As your representative, I will bring a young, energetic voice to solve local issues. I will work hard to bring change, better transport and services, and protect nature.
Cost of Living & Housing
As a young adult, I want to ensure our generation will have a place to call home.
I will strive that those in need will have access to support.
I shall push for affordable, clean energy to reduce to high cost of living.
Transport and Connectivity
We need to ensure that communities are well connected with buses and trains. The Green Party has made huge advances in public transport and I will continue to strive for more frequent and reliable transport connecting our towns and villages.
Nature Protection & Just Transition
We need to protect nature and biodiversity, not only to tackle climate change but also to protect farming and our food supply. The entire ecosystem lives and breathes with our actions. - We need to reduce our impact on nature to live sustainable and peaceful lives.
Experience
I am 23 years old and I have a BA degree in Economics, Politics, and Law at Dublin City University. I am currently working as a Business analyst in Dublin. I grew up in Dunboyne and I now I live in Bettystown, Co. Meath. I value local community groups and businesses, particularly as I was an instructor at the Golden Tiger Academy in Dunboyne and I played music in the Dunboyne Consort. These opportunities are essential for young people and I will strive to protect and support grassroots businesses and clubs. I am currently representing Meath on the Shared Island Youth Forum discussing collaboration between North and South for a better future on the Island of Ireland. I hope to represent young people from Meath and bring the many challenges we face center-stage.
