MAKING HOMES WARMER We are retrofitting 1,000 homes every week, half the funding provides free retrofitting to low income families. €70,000 grants are available to repurpose vacant homes. Solar panels reduce your energy costs, heat water, power your car & reducing CO2 emissions.

As a cllr I voted for over 10,000 homes. Participated in SDCC’s 2016 Dev plan, zoning land for over 30,000 homes. I have made observations on planning applications that breach Dev plans. The Green Party will always call out planning that is not in compliance with proper planning.

In the next government we would endeavour to introduce State Childcare facilities, to ensure child care fees are lowered. Further to these measures we have made public transport free for under 9’s and 50% off for 18-26 year olds.

Great to see that South Dublin Co. Co. has adopted many of the suggestions from my proposal for a more community based development of Rathfarnham Castle Stables in their latest proposals. I will continue to work with the local community and SDCC on the outstanding issues.
