Jacinta Deignan

Dublin City Council

Kimmage/Rathmines

I am originally from Crumlin and living here for over 30 years. I have a daughter and grandchild and live with my partner. I have been a member and supporter of Sinn Féin for many years and have actively campaigned for social justice, civil rights, housing, workers rights, and women’s rights from legalising contraception to Repealing the 8th Amendment. I am recently retired having spent my working life in the community/voluntary/statutory sector advocating for children at risk, out of home teenagers, unaccompanied minors and for problem drug users and their families. I have been a trade unionist all my working life and am a current member of FORSA. Tá cúpla focail agam agus ag foghlaim gaeilge.
