My Priority is You!

Cross-Party animosities have corrupted Irish politics and this election seems to be driven more by personalities than it is by policies. I do not serve a political party; I will serve you.

I will be An Independent Voice for your Community

Regeneration: The regeneration of our troubled estates is not being done to the benefit of law-abiding residents. I will promote a regeneration centred on Community needs and social justice.
Safety & Security: I will campaign for the establishment of Garda sub-stations in areas most affected by anti-social behaviour. I will continue to call for the hiring of security personnel to monitor CCTV cameras on the Southside. Presently, these cameras are not monitored at all. (see Newsletter)

Drugs Crisis: There is a serious drugs crisis in our City that is not being properly addressed. I will actively campaign for the establishment of a detox centre. (see Newsletter)

Housing: All standard housing should be affordable. One wage should be enough to keep a roof over your head. I will campaign for more affordable housing. Families become fractured when both parents are forced to work.

Tenants Enforcement: The remit of the Tenants Enforcement office should be extended to deal with the problem of private landlords renting to tenants that engage in anti-social behaviour and give legal support to local residents. More officers should be employed.
Waste Management: There are only 37 staff employed by our Council's Cleansing Department, none of them are under 55yrs. As members retire they are not being replaced. I will oppose the deliberate undermining of this essential Public Service. I will promote a new approach to waste-management that pays people to re-cycle.

Council Meetings: I will campaign for more accountability and transparency on Limerick City Council by proposing that all Council meetings be broadcast live on the Internet.
Public Transport: We need a more efficient public transport system. I am opposed to the introduction of Bus Lanes where it interferes with residential parking.

Bin Waiver: I will work for Freedom of choice in the Bin Waiver Scheme. At the moment, one company holds a monopoly on bin waivers.

What are your issues? I can help you raise them.
