My Work

As your local independent councillor, I strive every day to ensure that the people in our area have decent homes, the very best local amenities and a local authority that's leading the way in terms of climate action.

Both as your local councillor and your Mayor, my focus has been on promoting community engagement and ensuring that South Dublin County Council listens to and actively engages with the people it's here to serve.

a proud resident of Firhouse-Bohernabreena, I believe in rolling up my sleeves and getting involved to support community groups, getting to know the people who give so much to make our local area better.

And as a former barrister, I have spent my professional life advocating for people which is why I am always ready and willing to fight your corner.
