Looking for your support for Local Elections 2024

My name is Patrick Kinsella, a Fine Gael Local Election Candidate in the Kimmage Rathmines Electoral Area. This is my second time standing for election and while I missed out narrowly in 2019, my resolve and ambition is clear. I am putting my hand up again, to represent you and your family on the City Council, and I am seeking your support.

I am proud to call Rathmines home, where I've lived for 20 years with my wife Annette and our five boys. I firmly believe that local communities thrive on inclusivity, where people willingly support one another and prioritise the well-being of the most vulnerable.

The state of our community matters to me. As a parent, I am concerned for the future. I have seen the gradual transformation of the city into an unrecognisable place, where lawlessness seems to be the new normal, and fear pervades. I refuse to accept this status quo.

With your backing, I pledge to work tirelessly to enhance local services, improve transport links, revitalise public spaces, and address public housing needs. I want to make our area and Dublin an even better place place to live and to work.

In the weeks ahead, I will be knocking on doors, engaging with residents, and tackling local issues head-on. If you need help or have any concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.

Patrick Kinsella
