Please don’t assume you’re on the list as voters on the previous NUI and TCD panels were not automatically added to this new register.

How are developers held accountable for the drainage systems they install on their land?
In the aftermath of Storm Chandra, we shouldn't leave developers and other landowners off the hook for how water is managed on their land.

Great to see the huge support for the Oyekanmi family.
I have written again to the Minister for Justice, his junior Minister and our local government TDs to appeal to them to use their judgement here and over-rule the decision made by their officials here rather than just rubber-stamping it.

🗣️ "Our lives will never be the same without him."
More than 300 people attended a demonstration calling on the Minister for Justice to intervene as a family who sought asylum face deportation.
The Oyekanmi family arrived from South Africa in late 2023 and received a deportation order last year.

Hi, I’m Janet and I’m running to be your next TD for Dublin Central. Part of that means introducing myself on as many doors as possible, but it’s not something I usually do online, so bear with me while I get used to this!
