For over 30 years, I've been a volunteer, activist and Councillor, dedicating my life to advancing principles of sustainable development, community empowerment and equality in Irish society.
 
As Minister of State for Nature, Heritage and Electoral Reform and T.D. for Carlow-Kilkenny, I'm working tirelessly for an Ireland where healthy, resilient ecosystems teem with wildlife, where historic buildings and monuments are conserved and made accessible to all, and where the electoral process is more transparent, accountable and fair.
