Elect Sadhbh O' Neill for Waterford

Hi, my name is Sadhbh O' Neill and I'm running in the General Election on behalf of the Labour Party in the constituency of Waterford. As one of Ireland’s leading environmental activists, I am passionate about driving the changes we need to protect our environment and ensure a better - and fairer - future for all. I live in Waterford city, and have worked as a lecturer and campaigner for the past thirty years.

Your donation will help me cover the cost of printing leaflets and posters and paying for advertising on social media. The costs of running an election campaign have sky-rocketed and traditional forms of fundraising - though we still do it - don't always generate the funds required. So far my costs are in excess of €10,000 and the election has not even been called yet!

But I'm determined to win this seat for Labour. Despite Ireland’s wealth, many people are struggling to afford the things they need to survive and thrive. But current policies don’t address the underlying causes of inequality and poor quality infrastructure. The cost of living is still too high, Waterford UH still doesn’t have 24/7 cardiac care and people are struggling to access affordable housing, reliable public transport and childcare. Waterford is not getting its fair share of government investment in vital infrastructure.

I am running because I want to challenge the inertia in decision-making and to fight for inclusive, sustainable solutions for Waterford. I will fight for decent housing and public amenities for all.
