“I’m delighted to have been selected by the members of the Kerry Green Party branch,” she says. “I want to make sure that Ireland’s green transition serves the people of Kerry, improving everyone’s quality of life and protecting the natural environment that gives us all such pride of place.

“It’s vital that we have a strong Green Party presence in the next Dáil and, potentially, the next Government to ensure that the benefits we have brought in for people are not undone. I want to be the Kerry voice in the Green corner of the next Dáil.”
