2. Affordable child care and assistance programs for parents
Although we have many child care centers in Blackrock, we need more affordable child care centers to assist the large working class community of the region. About seventeen primary schools are functioning in our area. By opening more after-school study centers, we will be able to accommodate the students there, and the working hours of the young parents can be managed accordingly. With the dwindling numbers in organizations such as Scout Ireland, which have acted as the primary vehicle for supporting active youth programs and for supporting our adult volunteers, there must surely be more opportunities in Blackrock for our young community.

3. Immigration and Integration
Immigration and integration is a topic that is currently being discussed across the
country. As the chairperson of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Integration Forum I have a clear vision in this area.I think there is a mistake in describing those who come to work from
abroad, and those who come to seek refuge under the single term as, ‘migrants’. Irish people know the difference between those who are invited by the country, who include the nurses and health carers who staff our hospitals and nursing homes, as well as the IT and pharma workers who make a huge contribution to the country, and those who come to seek asylum here. Ours is a culture that cares about asylum seekers.Of course, that is as it should be. If there is a need to move them out of the Blackrock area and resettle them, we should support that.But we need to be careful about insisting on increasing the number of international protection applicants in an area with the highest density in the country, like Blackrock, in the heart of our village, and implementing it without sufficient consultation with the local community. There are suggestions to deploy them in a way that does not fit the existing increased density of our Blackrock. It will not be in the interest of people of Blackrock who have been waiting for a place on our social housing list for years, people who have been traveling far to work in our area without even finding accommodation, and thousands of students in educational institutions including UCD. Re-election of those who supported this action of the council may not be in the interest of the Blackrock community.

4. Environmental and Climate Action Issues :
Are cycle paths the only climate action?
I cannot help saying that not only has there been no significant change in the climate action plans that we have been waiting for, but some of the projects that have been implemented as part of it are heading for a complete failure. We must recognize that most of the added cycle lanes to our roads are unnecessarily hasty and unscientific. We are seeing an increase in journey times for public transport and even other transports.
There should be alternative ways in this area.
My Manifesto for our local Environment
As the DLR PPN representative on Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council’s
Environment and Climate Action Strategic Policy Committee, I have had the opportunity to observe and study the works in this area very closely. However, I believe that to address the lack of diversity in the implementation of projects and the complacency we have in the areas of environmental and climate action that we can actively implement, we need to implement more public participation programs on this issue. If you elect me, I will be committed to implementing a few projects with your cooperation,being involved for our natural environment and for the people of Blackrock, within the next five years.

The following are my projects.
A: One tree for every Family
There are people who say that there is not much space left for tree plantation in Blackrock. They are mostly right, too. However, we can implement a huge project for tree plantation in other parts of the county for the people of Blackrock. In the project of planting one tree for every house, we should involve school and college students of our region and make them our winning partners.
B. Community bus
Fortunately, with the arrival of L 25, S6 and S8 buses, our public transport crisis has been solved to some extent. However, a community mini bus service will be started to connect areas where public transport has not been possible till now.
C. Solar for all
A project to promote renewable energy is the need of the hour. A solar projector for all will be launched by involving all interested households in Blackrock.
D. Circular Economy
A circular economy promotion project will be launched for Blackrock in collaboration with residence associations and fellowship. 

5. A gathering place for Blackrock
Our Blackrock has limited community centers with very low seating capacity; none of
them is adequate for the diverse population of our area. In particular, the economic migrant communities living in our midst often lack a place to congregate. Therefore, a community center large enough to accommodate at least a thousand people is urgently needed in the Blackrock area.

6. Houses. Houses are the main problem
Housing poverty has always been a major issue in Blackrock. I like what David
McWilliams said in this regard.’The State must become the Ryanair of house builders’; We can build more houses by forming more co-operative housing societies. Where can we buy a house at a low price when the political parties, who should be the first one to say that it is time to kick the profiteers out of the housing market, join hands with these exploiters? We need to move away from the pitiable situation where even grown-up married children have no choice but to share a home with their parents…

7. Social issues
I am proud to be a pro-life activist. We saw Irish society rejecting the Family Care
Referendum in February, and not getting trapped for the agendas pushed by the media. I think this is perhaps the beginning of an opportunity to correct the mistakes that have happened in recent history. To those who are taking to the streets because it saddens us to see thousands of babies die in Palestine, please remember that we have destroyed 28,500 Irish children’s lives, our little angels, in Ireland since the 2018 abortion referendum. (Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Please forgive me, really sorry for upsetting you…)
The Irish people have given light to many cultures in the world. Those who migrated to America, Canada and Australia were the frontline soldiers of the development of those countries. In the pre-independence period before 1947, about 300,000 Irish people
served even in India. Those Irish ancestors were the ones who preached the gospel of goodness wherever they went. Do not fall into the tricks of those who perpetrate social evils in the name of freedom.
Let us protect the compassion and bravery that have not yet been lost.
LET US SHARE OUR SIMILARITIES, CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES.
