About Me
I have been involved in this community for many years as both a public representative and a long time lecturer at the Dublin School of Architecture. I am passionate not only about building sustainable housing, but creating a better community for everyone to live in. As the Teachta Dála for Dublin South West I will continue to seek timely solutions to the problems we face.
My vision for Dublin South-West
I aim to improved transport, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure is needed in our community to encourage active travel and to create a safe environment for our children and families. I would like to contribute to community development in Dublin South-West by assisting local community organisations in meeting their needs, improving nearby facilities and amenities.
Dublin South-West is also home to some significant historical and cultural heritage sites which I would like to see preserved. The preservation of Ballymount Gatehouse, which was constructed circa. 1622, is a project I have been working on in conjunction with South Dublin County Council.
Housing
As Green Party Housing Spokesperson, I would like to see our housing sector shift transform into one that is centred on affordability and inclusive of all income levels. I believe the improved delivery of social housing, cost-rental units coupled with improved affordable purchase schemes are key in ensuring a sustainable housing market.
