Why I got involved in politics
Being born to a single mother at the time in 1980's Ireland and growing up as a gay woman instilled in me from a young age how inequality impacts on people's lives. I got involved in politics because I see it as a way to change people's lives for the better.
My priorities
- Better housing policy and tackling dereliction
- Campaigning for a €9 monthly climate ticket for public transport
- Standing up for marginalised communities
- Affordable childcare
- Access to education at all levels
My background
- Currently: Executive Director of the Irish Council for International Students
- National Head of Mobilisation for the Together for Yes campaign in 2018
- Former president of the Union of Students in Ireland, during the marriage equality referendum
- Campaigner for LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, access to education
