It was a great pleasure to welcome leader of Fianna Fáil and Tánaiste Micheál Martin to Citywest, last week.

On the campaign trail Tánaiste Micheál Martin engaged in meaningful discussions with residents of Carrigmore Estate, who raised the evolving landscape of the community and the need for corresponding infrastructure and amenities. 

This was a great opportunity to discuss with Tánaiste Micheál Martin the need for state investment in Citywest to allow for the provision of sports and leisure amenities in the area.  The expansion of our area requires proper infrastructure to maintain a good quality of life and ease traffic congestion. This means we need better roads, parks, public services, and transportation options to keep up with our community’s growth and ensure everyone can enjoy a high standard of living.

I have also highlighted to Mr. Martin, the many concerns of residents around the Tallaght area of illegal dumping which has undoubtedly become a huge problem across all areas of the community. New regulations have been introduced that allow local authorities to use CCTV and drones. If elected in June, I will be requesting that South Dublin County Council use these new measures to tackle the issue of illegal dumping.

With your support, I will work tirelessly to ensure our community receives the attention and resources it deserves.
