Hello, I am Rory Hearne. I am standing for election in Dublin North West, for the Social Democrats.

I have been a strong campaigner on the housing crisis in recent years, speaking up for the Locked-Out Generation. I’m an Associate Professor at Maynooth University with wide expertise in housing, homelessness and social policy, and have written extensively on solutions to Ireland’s housing crisis.

My wife and I have lived on Dublin’s Northside for over 20 years. I’m a father of four children and I believe in an Ireland where every child can realise their full potential, where all children have a home, and a fair and sustainable future.

I have been selected to replace Róisín Shortall TD, who will retire at the next election, as the Social Democrats candidate for Dublin North-West.

I need your support to get elected. What ever you can contribute will help towards my campaign in terms of being able to print more leaflets, posters, and extend advertising.

This election offers the opportunity to bring about positive real change for people in Ireland. I am standing for investment in people, in society, in communities. We have had enough of the merry go round of Governments that have promised so much yet fail to get to grips with the major issues affecting this country - we need to elect people who are genuinely committed to a fairer Ireland and an Ireland that works for everyone. From the on going housing disaster, to record homelessness, hospital waiting lists and overcrowded A&E, to waiting lists for basic children s services, to the incompetence and fiasco of the bike shed, the National Children s Hospital, to the failure to use our surplus billions to address the multiple crisis we face, it really is time for a new positive socially inclusive direction, for new ideas, and for real solutions. That is what I and the social democrats offer to you in this election. Our commitment is to put you - our society - first, and make Ireland work for everyone, for our children, for younger generations, for workers, for families, for the elderly.

Thank you for your contribution. It all makes a difference. Lets change Ireland for the better, together.

Help Elect Rory Hearne to the Dail!
