I am a renter and a member of the Community Action Tenants' Union. I have stood with the union in opposing evictions and have campaigned with Take Back the City, Raise the Roof and the National Homeless and Housing Coalition.
As a musician, I am very concerned with the loss of cultural space in our city. Along with other musicians, I led the campaign to save the Cobblestone pub from being destroyed and replaced with a 9-storey hotel. This kind of campaign provides us with a glimpse of what kind of city and society we can win if can get organised.
I have been a member of United Against Racism since 2015 and have campaigned against direct provision and for the rights of asylum seekers in that time. Recent efforts by the Government to scapegoat asylum seekers are a transparent attempt to divert people's attention away from their own abject failures on housing, healthcare and the cost of living.
There is enough money in the country to transform our society for the benefit of the many, instead of the wealthy few. To do that, we need to put an end to more than a century of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael rule and bring about a Left Government. I guarantee that if elected, I will not prop these parties up in coalition.
