You can catch up on some of the reporting on my work on the Council here and the various issues I have fought for as a representative for the North Inner City. I have advocated for more greening, traffic calming, safer walking and cycling, cracking down on illegal gambling advertising, education and engagement on the street names of Dublin, litter and dumping, on proving emergency accommodation for the area and the vision for the future of Dublin as a climate safe city.
