Brigid Purcell
PBP–Solidarity candidate for Dublin Bay South
Brigid Purcell is a young community activist and worker from Ringsend. In 2021 she ran in the Dublin Bay South by-election to fight for renters, workers rights, decent public services and the environment, and came 4th in first preferences during the local elections. She has played a role in a number of local campaigns - from the Cost of Living Coalition to the liberation of Palestine to anti-racism work to protecting Dublin Bay against pollution. 20 years of austerity and 100 years of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael has done serious damage to communities in Dublin Bay South. The working class of Dublin Bay South is consistently left behind and needs a principled socialist voice in the Dáil to fight for it. Brigid can be that voice.
