Education

I am an Equality Ambassador graduated from Kerry Education services. With my educational background in Economics, I am equipped to analyze and tackle the economic disparities that often hinder equality in Ireland. Together, we can work towards a future where every Citizen has an equal chance to succeed. 

• Policy Platform

1. HOUSING for all: Providing affordable housing options for every member of our community, ensuring safe and comfortable living conditions for all Kerry residents.

Making housing choices accessible to everyone in our community

An officially published report from the Housing Commission has criticized the government's lack of action. It calls for an urgent increase in housing supply, investment of public funds in home construction, and the use of vacant properties. These are the changes I've been advocating for with (nodexlgraphgallery.org).   .

 

2. EQUALITY: Fostering a society in Kerry where everyone is treated fairly and has equal opportunities, regardless of their background, race, gender, or socioeconomic status.

Creating a society in Kerry where everyone is respected and has the same chances.

 Additional research corroborates that the disparity in income levels saw an uptick in 2021, a trend observed consistently with or without considering the expenses related to housing   

 The Taoiseach has stated that "still far too many" Irish children are going to bed hungry, despite Ireland being among the wealthiest countries in the European Union.

  

3.Climate change:

Being able to witness the extent of the climate catastrophe is truly impactful. This realization strikes close to home as we can see the dire consequences first hand. As someone who has seen so the staggering displacement caused by the climate crisis globally, this issue holds immense importance to me.

Having the ability to advocate and mobilize support for victims of global climate change, and being nominated for the role of Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Implementing and supporting eco-friendly practices to protect our environment and preserve the natural beauty of Kerry for current and future generations.

Promoting and maintaining green practices to safeguard our environment

The image from @ESA the Killarney fire serves as a stark reminder that if we don't take swift and concrete steps, the rate of environmental devastation will surge dramatically, leading to disastrous consequences for all of us.

 

Harnessing the Sun's Power During Renovations

While our building undergoes a transformation, we've found a silver lining in the form of solar energy!  Our trusty solar panels are keeping the lights on and our gadgets charged. It's amazing how the sun's rays can be captured to power our daily lives, even amidst the hustle and bustle of renovation.

We're not just renovating our space; we're also upgrading our energy source to be more sustainable and eco-friendly.  So here's to bright days and even brighter ideas, all fueled by the power of the sun!

4. Mental health

Mental health, integral to our overall well being demands equal focus as physical health. It is vital to ensure accessible mental services, supportive environment, and open conversation. Together, let us champion mental health, dismantle stigma, and integrate it into our daily priorities.

 
5 Kknowledge Economy

During the current general election campaign in Ireland, discussions on fostering a robust innovation ecosystem have been notably absent. Key topics such as investment in research and development, support for startups, and the role of education in nurturing future innovators are not being prioritized in political debates. This lack of focus on innovation can hinder Ireland's ability to adapt to global technological advancements and maintain its competitive edge.

The neglect of these crucial issues is particularly concerning given recent events that have highlighted Ireland's struggle to adopt technological advancements in ICT. For instance, the Bank of Ireland, Munster Technological University (MTU), and health services have all faced cyberattacks, causing widespread disruption and financial damage. These incidents underscore the urgent need for a robust cybersecurity strategy and greater investment in digital infrastructure.

Without addressing these critical issues, Ireland's economic stability and growth potential remain at risk. The current general election campaign's failure to prioritize innovation and technological advancement could have long-term consequences for the country's ability to compete on the global stage

6 Global Peace.

I have long advocated for peace globally and have done research on the root causes of conflict in the horn of Africa. The Horn of Africa's strategic location, economic potential, and regional stability are pivotal for global trade and peace, with international cooperation and humanitarian efforts being essential for its development and the well-being of its people.

My work in conflict research in the Horn of Africa primarily focuses on the complex issues surrounding cross-border livestock trade, small arms, and conflicts in pastoral areas. my research delves into the traditional conflicts endemic to pastoral and agro-pastoral areas of the Horn of Africa, which often involve disputes over access to resources such as grasslands, water, and livestock. These conflicts are typically between different ethnic pastoral groups and can have spill-over effects on neighbouring countries, especially when the same ethnic group resides across borders.

My work highlight the lack of attention and resolution mechanisms for these conflicts, emphasizing the need for a better understanding of pastoral conflicts to develop effective mitigation and peace-building policies.
