Help Elect Conor Kelly for Rathfarnham-Templeogue

Having lived in Dublin all my life, I've seen firsthand how tough the housing crisis is with over half my wages going towards rent alone, this pushed me to get involved with People Before Profit. Watching the majority of friends emigrate because they can't afford a home here or the cost of living in Ireland fuels my determination to stay and fight for real change.
2024 is our chance for change. The local, European and general elections are our chance to kick Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael out of government for the first time in history.
South Dublin County Council has been run by a coalition of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Greens since 2019. Just like the government nationally, they have failed people, worsened the housing crisis and delivered worsening public services.
We need a left Council just like we need a left government. People Before Profit is the only party to give a commitment not to go into coalition with FF or FG at local or national level. Instead, we want to see a left Council which builds public and genuinely affordable housing and invests in services.
My priorities are to:
- Use vacant & derelict properties to house the homeless and build social & genuinely affordable homes on Council land
- Tax Amazon & the big multinationals in South Dublin, and abolish the property tax
- Invest in more Council staff to improve home repairs, retrofitting, street lights, & street cleaning
- Invest in our parks - more benches, bins, picnic tables & teen spaces
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.
