Sharon Benson

Limerick County Council

Limerick City North

Limerick born and raised, I have lived most of my life in Caherdavin and the Northside of the city. First elected in 2019, I’ve served as Sinn Féin party leader on Limerick Council. I have been a strong advocate for people struggling to meet their housing needs whether they are seeking assistance with Council/Private housing or grants. I am passionate about the work I do on committees such as the Housing and Environment SPC’s, the Limerick Women’s Caucus and the Northside Family Resource Centre. As the mother of a teenage son, I am acutely aware of the pressures facing families in Limerick. I have consistently held the authorities and establishment parties to account, and I am seeking your support to continue that work into the future.
