Reinstate Article 48 – Putting Power Back in Your Hands
Our democracy should truly belong to the people, not be locked away behind political barriers. I’m committed to reinstating Article 48—a powerful tool for direct democracy that would give you the right to call a referendum on major issues with just 100,000 signatures. Imagine having a real say on decisions that shape our nation, from the EU Migration Pact to the Hate Speech Bill. This isn’t just a policy; it’s a path to putting you back in charge.
To make this a reality, I’ll bring a motion before the Dáil and work with like-minded Independents and TDs who refuse to be bound by the party whip. Together, we can break the stranglehold of partisan politics and restore the balance of power to where it belongs: with the people. One vote, one movement, one powerful step toward a democracy that listens and responds to you.
Community Hub Development Program
- Rural Housing and Community Development:
- Housing is a critical issue, particularly in rural areas where communities are dwindling as young people move away. My plan for cluster housing developments is aimed at revitalizing rural communities, creating affordable homes, and encouraging young families to stay or return. With clear, step-by-step guidance on affordable homebuilding, we can make it easier for people to build in the places they call home.(Picture of small Housing development )
- Community Action Plan
A New Standard for Political Accountability – My Community Action Plan
I’m committed to transforming how a local political office serves the people. Too often, constituents reach out for help only to be met with empty promises and inaction. My Community Action Plan aims to change that by creating a transparent, accountable system where your concerns are genuinely addressed and followed through.
How It Works:
- Open Clinics, Real Access
I’ll hold regular clinics in-person and on Zoom, giving everyone a chance to directly voice their concerns. Each issue raised will be documented and added to an action list. - Track able Progress, Clear Results
Every issue will be tracked using a straightforward, public timeline. This “to-do” list will show the status of each task, with regular updates on progress. You’ll be able to see what’s being done and when it’s completed—no more guesswork or wondering if anyone is listening. - Real-Time Updates for Everyone
This plan will be accessible online so you can follow updates in real time. It’s a system that keeps everyone informed and shows that action is truly being taken.
community concerns. Let me know if you’d like further customization!
This isn’t just about better service; it’s about building a new level of trust and efficiency that could serve as a model for political offices across Ireland. Together, we can set a higher standard for how representatives work with the people they serve.
If elected, I pledge to bring an unprecedented level of accountability and responsibility to my role. On day one, I will sign a legally binding document committing to have this system fully operational and actively tracking projects within six months. If I fail to meet this promise, I will resign. This is my commitment to a new standard of service—action-driven, transparent, and truly responsive to the needs of our community. I am dedicated to delivering the respect and results that the people deserve, setting a new benchmark for Irish politics.
And if you choose not to vote for me, I urge you to ask your preferred candidate how they plan to deliver the same level of service—one that guarantees accountability, a clear action plan, and assurances of follow-through. Demand the transparency and commitment that Irish people deserve, because that’s the standard I’m committed to delivering.

County Meath has immense potential, but too much economic development has focused elsewhere, forcing long commutes to Dublin. I envision a future where residents can build fulfilling careers and businesses right here at home, without the burden of long-distance travel.
