Housing - Affordable, quality homes for everyone
I’ll treat the housing crisis like the emergency it is, with ambitious, credible solutions to provide safe and secure housing. I’ll work to:
- Deliver public housing
Investing in new cost-rental and social homes while improving standards in our existing housing stock.
- Tackle vacancy and dereliction
Turning empty properties into homes and forcing owners of derelict properties to develop or sell.
- Put affordability first
Activating vacant spaces above shops and rezoning suitable land so we can build faster and cheaper.
- Make home-ownership achievable
Cracking down on investors bulk-buying properties so we can free up homes for families.
- Improve homeless services
Delivering nationwide services with proper supports so care isn’t concentrated or stretched too thin.
Climate - Caring for people, caring for our planet
A Green TD will be the strongest advocate for the nature we love, the environment we share and the climate action we need. I’ll push for:
- Better public transport
Accelerating delivery of public transport services that are reliable, affordable and accessible.
- Safe roads AND Clean Air
Pushing for the infrastructure that makes walking and cycling a safe choice for everyone.
- Cleaner, cheaper energy
Getting us off expensive, imported fossil fuels and on to clean, renewable, Irish energy.
- Warmer homes
Ramping up retrofitting to make our homes warmer, healthier and cheaper to heat.
- Nature restoration
Protecting our environment so we have cleaner water, greener streets and spaces where nature can thrive
Culture - Supporting a dynamic, creative city
Our cultural and artistic spaces nurture talent, foster community and make Dublin Central the vibrant place that it is. I promise to:
- Protect our cultural spaces
Resisting the erosion of independent venues and creative spaces across our city.
- Prioritise a liveable city
Developing new civic spaces where communities can come together and culture and sport can thrive.
- Nurture local talent
Providing the facilities and supports for our athletes, artists and creatives to grow and develop their skills.
- Celebrate diversity
Strengthening integration programmes to combat division and build an inclusive, welcoming society.
- Enhance our night life
Reforming the laws to help make Dublin’s late-night options fun, vibrant and worth staying out for.
Care - Creating a care-centred society
Care is the backbone of our communities and carers should be recognised, respected and supported. I will champion:
- Affordable public childcare
Building on the work of the Green Party to further reduce childcare costs and support educators.
- More school places
Increasing local capacity and improving supports so children of all abilities have access to education.
- Community models of care
Reducing waiting lists by focusing on provision of accessible, affordable community-based healthcare.
- Better disability supports
Funding community-based services and investing in the accessibility of public spaces.
- Mental health and addiction care
Taking a health-led approach to addiction and ensuring mental health services offer 24/7 crisis support
