Elect Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin for Dublin Central

I'm proud to say I have been selected to be the People Before Profit candidate in Dublin Central in this years general election.

I am a musician, a Psychology graduate and a socialist activist. I have been involved in political activism for almost 10 years now, in campaigns around housing, workers' rights, the climate and biodiversity crisis, cultural space, healthcare, anti-racism, women's rights and LGBT+ rights.

I am running for election because I am fed up of seeing people around me struggle with exorbitant rents, with the threat of eviction, with no possibility of ever owning a home.

I am deeply worried about the climate and biodiversity crisis and our Government's policies around it, which punish ordinary people, let major polluters off the hook, and come nowhere close to what we need to actually tackle the crisis.

I also want to see a community where people can thrive and explore their own creativity. I am very concerned with the loss of cultural space in the city and the lack of working class access to creative outlets.

I think we need a strong challenge to the Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael parties that have run the country for the last 100 years, often propped up by smaller parties. People Before Profit are the only party who guarantee we will not enter into coalition with either of these parties.

People Before Profit is not a big, establishment party. We don’t have millionaire backers. My campaign will be run completely on the hard work of local activists with the help of your donations.

What will my donation be used for?

This GoFundME will be used to fund my election campaign. It will go to pay for the day-to-day things like leaflets, posters and zip-ties, and banners.
