Why Ciarán?

For a kinder, fairer and more sustainable future.

If elected, I’ll fight for what we need to build a community that works for all,

including:

  • Affordable homes and rents

  • Effective public transport & active travel

  • Expansion of community facilities

  • Accessible & affordable childcare

  • Better social care and disability supports that match individual needs

I’m ready to provide a fresh and progressive perspective for a new generation in the Dáil, and advocate for our interests.

My Work

I work as a solicitor specialising in employment law. I spend my free time volunteering in my community:

  • Through FLAC (Free Legal Advice Centres) I provide advice to many charities and individuals, and provide employment law training for volunteer advisors  

  • I am Chairperson of the Board of Management of Ballyroan BNS and involvement in my secondary school past pupils’ union 

  • I play music (euphonium!) with the Rathfarnham Concert Band and I am currently serving as the Band’s Chairperson

  • I am active in the South Dublin Cycling Campaign 

  • I’m a founding director of the local charity Calcutta Connect, which supports education in underprivileged communities in India

  • I also organise the Law Society’s annual “Calcutta Run” for the Simon Community and Hope Foundation, raising €300,000 in 2023 alone. 

I want the council to get back to basics and do the simple things right - ensuring safe footpaths, roads, cycle paths, and clean, green communities.

I want to build on my track record of voluntary work by becoming a full-time representative of communities in Templeogue, Rathfarnham and Greenhills. I want to help build a kinder, fairer and more sustainable future for all in our area. 

To do this I need your vote so please consider me for your No. 1 on 7th May. Thank you!

About Me …

I’m a councillor on South Dublin County Council, a community

organiser, a labour lawyer by profession, and your candidate for Dublin

South-West in this general election.

I have so much pride in our community here in Dublin South-West.

It’s where I was born, raised, and am now lucky enough to be raising

a family of my own. Yet, the reality is that too many people in our area

are struggling to afford the things they need to survive and thrive.

Basic services – childcare, healthcare, disability supports, housing,

transport – should be available and accessible to all. But year after year, Government has failed to provide sufficient resources on

all these fronts.

Our country is ready for a transformation, and Labour is dedicated

to building better together. We’re committed to the basics of public

policy – getting the simple things right and delivering better results for

workers and families.
