Help Elect Brigid Purcell to Dublin City Council

I'm Brigid Purcell, I'm an activist and I'm running for Dublin City Council for South East Inner City in the local elections in 2024. I became an activist after getting involved with the Debenhams picket in 2020, which solidified in my eyes to the disconnect between government and ordinary people.

The political establishment has little to show for their 100 years in power, asside from the worst housing crisis in the history of the state, a skin-and-bone health service, crumbling education service, a deepening climate crisis, cost of living through the roof and the destruction of what remains of Irish Neutrality.

Many services once run by our councils have been sold off. Our councils have failed to deliver housing to those who need it. People power is the only way of fighting back to make change - I want to represent anyone fighting for that change in this local area.

If elected to the council:

● I WILL fight to use public land to build public housing – not hand it over to private developers.

● I WILL fight to take our Public services back into Public ownership – Housing, water, bins. We need to reverse privatisation.

● I WILL NOT support Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil on the council.

● I WILL NOT support the selloff of public services and land.

People before profit is not a big establishment party. We don’t have millionaire backers. My campaign will be run completely on the hard work of local activists with the help of your donations.

What will my donation be used for?

This GoFundME will be used to fund my election campaign. It will go to pay for the day-to-day things like leaflets, posters and zip-ties, and banners.
