My priorities

• State-led investment to build social and affordable homes.
• Enhanced bus services and a new light rail project to connect our communities.
• Lower energy bills for families through more renewable energy and tackling excessive profit taking by big energy companies.

My background

I passionately believe in public service. As a community worker, foster mother and councillor it has been at the heart of everything I do. 

I’ve lived and worked in Galway for more than 20 years. I know firsthand the challenges we face – to build homes, to radically improve public transport and to give families a break by tackling the cost of living.

The current tired Government hasn’t got the vision or the energy to bring real change to Galway. It’s time for a fresh start and I’m asking for your trust and your support to make that happen.

I promise to work tirelessly, listen deeply and deliver for the people of Galway.
