Hi, I'm Shane
I grew up in Artane and am involved with the community in Dublin 5. I’m passionate about our area. I’m from a new generation of aspiring public reps. And I’m different.
How so?
I’m 31 and a renter. I know the housing crisis facing our young people first hand. They say that if you want to solve a problem you should involve those experiencing it. Not many of those in Leinster House do. More landlords than renters.
It is the younger generation too that will face the impact of climate change. We’ve a lot of work to do and investment to make to get our city and our country ready for that challenge.

My Priorities
- Addressing the housing crisis. We need more homes for people. Labour will use all the levers of Government to build 50,000 homes per year. But not just new houses: new communities too.
- Tackling the climate crisis head on. The effects of climate change are already impacting on our communities and that is only going to increase. We need a serious focus not just on reducing emissions but also preparing ourselves for the change that is already baked in.
- Supporting all communities, including new Irish, not ostracising them. We need their help to build an Ireland we all want to live in.
