Phoenix FM Debate

I attended the community radio debate on Phoenix FM 92.5 during the week. McNulty, McGuinness, O'Gorman, Kidd, O Ceallaigh and myself were in attendance.

Again, I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage the people of Dublin West to listen to the logic behind my reasoning and to truly consider putting a colourful alternative into the Dail as their representative.

Ireland Can Do Better Public Meeting

I was in Diswellstown last night at a public meeting focusing on our children's education. In these austere times, it is imperative that we do not start making deep irreversible cuts to the things that matter, namely, the kids and the handicapped. I made an empassioned and emploring speech to Minister Burton to avoid such action. Her rebuttal was measured and weighted but lacked conviction. When asked bluntly 'Will you be cutting more SNA budgets in the Dublin West district?', her reply was wishy washy. Minister Burton, we have given you an influencial platform to represent us, please don't forget that.

* End to knife / violent crime

ISSUES TO BE TACKLED
*One needs only to open papers on a daily basis to witness the catastrophic effect knife / gun / gang and violent crime is having on our neighbourhoods. This is deeply felt amongst the good communities in Dublin West. I intend to address the issues in a real and grown-up manner. It is obvious we need assistance from abroad as we do not have the experience or expertise to deal with these types of crime on a daily basis in our communities. If elected I will pressure the leading political parties to bring in crime experts from England and the US to educate the people. I will also demand that a copy of the expert US TV series The Wire and The Sopranos is delivered to every house in the constituency.. 

Wonky pavements, no thanks!

ISSUES TO BE TACKLED
* Wonky pavements.
The age demographic in and around the Dublin West constituency has aged dramatically over the years. Issues such as broken and damaged pavements have come to the fore by becoming a dangerous hazard to citizens as well as being unsightly. I intend to fix this issue once and for all by assigning a Fingal County Council team to the task of eradicating broken paving.
