I am delighted to have the backing of Fianna Fail members and elected City and County Councillors from the four […]
Bad Water deal for Dublin
At a special meeting of Dublin City Council yesterday evening myself and my Fianna Fail colleagues voiced strong concerns over the arrangements to transfer water services from DCC to the super quango, Irish Water. This is a bad deal that will shortchange Dubliners. I’d like to thank City Councillors for voting for the motion I […]

Water Charges

I have repeatedly requested details of Minister Hogan’s promised “first fix free” scheme but been unable to obtain any. Dublin City Council and Irish […]

I have major concerns which must be addressed before we proceed […]
Please Vote No
The main reason to vote No tomorrow is to send a strong message to Government that we are not fools and we do not like being lied to. They lied to get power and they continue to lie as they exercise power. They say abolishing the Seanad will mean political reform – this is a lie. […]

By asking people to vote YES the Government are asking the Irish people to do two things:1. abolish the Seanad.2. remove all reference to the Seanad from the […]
