Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council

Killiney/Shankill

I live in Woodbrook with my wife Jessaree, a nurse by profession, and our two daughters. For 21 years I worked as a Social Care Worker in St. John of God, supporting the most vulnerable in our society. In 2021 I moved to Fórsa Trade Union where I took on the role of Strategic Organiser for the Dublin Health Cluster. In my role I support over 8,000 workers across the health service. Over the years I has been active on a variety of issues, from resisting waters charges to demanding affordable housing in Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown. As a person living with a disability I am keenly aware of the challenges faced by people with disabilities and want to see improved access and services in the area.
