Spent some time at the polluted Dodder River in Tallaght #DublinSouthWest with my pal @collieennis this week.

We have to clean up our act, and fast. Environmentalism and biodiversity must be at heart of everything we do.🌳🐝🐸#GE2020 pic.twitter.com/zfCDiGWQge

10 years ago some school friends and I founded the charity Calcutta Connect

Great to talk to the legendary Peter Nolan while @TempleogueUtd Academy was in full in swing today.

I'm running for election because I believe in children's rights.

Tallaght's DEIS schools need more funding to reduce pupil-teacher ratios & provide essential personal supports. Dublin South West's schools in general need major investment in Special Needs Assistance. #GE2020 pic.twitter.com/a0MI4o8hXo
