Cllr. Janet Horner

I believe in the best of Dublin Central. It’s my home, our community, and a place with strong roots, rich culture, and people who look out for one another. You deserve a TD who recognises, celebrates and works to strengthen that. While this part of the city faces real challenges, we have always been defined by our energy, our strength in diversity, and our willingness to stand up for what’s right. As a Dublin City Councillor, trade unionist, feminist and climate activist, I have a strong record of standing up for what I believe and delivering real change. I’ll bring that same drive to the Dáil and work tirelessly for a Dublin that’s fair, sustainable and forward-looking. Another government backbencher or a second TD for other opposition parties will not deliver the new energy and vision that Dublin Central needs. With the government abandoning its commitments on climate action and social progress, electing a strong Green voice sends a clear message that these issues matter. It puts key Green priorities like lower childcare costs, better public transport, and greater social inclusion firmly back on the agenda. That’s why I am asking for your number 1 vote in May. Together, let’s build the Dublin we deserve! Le Meas, Janet

Delivering the Dublin we deserve

Dublin Central needs TDs who focus not just on the problems, but the solutions. As a councillor, I’ve already worked to improve the city by:
  • Championing a traffic-free Capel Street and pushing for the same on College Green
  • Improving standards in social housing and emergency accommodation.
  • Combatting vacancy and dereliction in the inner city.
  • Fighting for cultural spaces like the Cobblestone, D-Light Studios and the Complex
  • Standing with migrant communities against hate and promoting integration.
  • Regenerating the Parnell Cultural Quarter and the Victorian Fruit and Veg Market.
  • Delivering measures that make it safer to walk and cycle.
  • Planting more trees and creating new green spaces.

Fighting for social justice, at home and abroad

I’ve spent my life campaigning for justice and equality in Ireland, Palestine, India and Uganda. I’ve fought for social change through:
  • Working with Palestinian women to advocate for women’s role in peace-building.
  • Living and teaching in Uganda and India, supporting community development.
  • Participating in SIPTU’s Equality and Global Solidarity committees.
  • Leading as an organiser in Dublin Central’s campaign to Repeal the 8th Amendment.
  • Championing women’s health on the Board of the Rotunda Hospital.

A No.1 vote for Janet Horner is a vote for:

  • An affordable city, where everyone has access to a home they can afford and the services they need to live a good life.
  • A liveable city, where people can relax and spend time and where we protect the cultural spaces that make our city unique.
  • A green city, with more parks, easy access to nature, and climate action that benefits our lives and our communities.
  • A connected city, safe to walk and cycle, with accessible, affordable public transport that’s reliable and serves everyone.
  • An inclusive city, where care and equality are at the heart of our communities and we stand together against racism and discrimination.
