Carlow-Kilkenny TD Malcolm Noonan has launched his bid to retain his Dáil seat in the upcoming General Election. As the Green Party’s longest-elected public representative, with over 20 years in office as a Councillor, TD and Minister, Noonan brings a wealth of experience to his campaign for a seat in the 34th Dáil.
“Throughout my two decades in politics, my goal has always been to help my community and support projects that benefit everyone,” he said. “I have worked tirelessly to be an effective local TD, striving to ensure that every constituent who knocked on our door found an empathetic ear and good public service.
“As Minister, I have delivered a transformative agenda for Ireland's natural environment, built heritage and electoral systems. As a Parliamentarian, I have brought huge amounts of legislation through the Dáil on topics that matter to people. And as an elected representative for the Green Party, I have been part of a Government that has overseen radical changes in energy, childcare, the arts and public transport.”
Noonan has contested four local elections, three general elections and one bye-election, and said that he is looking forward to getting out on the ground across Carlow and Kilkenny and engaging with constituents to hear their concerns and hopes for the future.
“I am proud to have served as TD for the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency and as Minister for Nature, Heritage and Electoral Reform in the 33rd Dáil. Now, it’s time to get out on the doorsteps, meet people, listen to their views, share my own and seek a new mandate for the next Dáil term. My priorities are to continue to deliver for our two counties across housing, heritage, agriculture, nature, rural development and transport, and work for a future that is fairer, kinder and more inclusive.”
