Biography

Noonan has a degree in new media and English and a Masters in marketing, consumption and society. He works in product management. He is focusing on implementing a universal basic income of €900 per month to alleviate job automation. He also focuses on climate change and establishing a more secular country.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

40% of Irish jobs are going to be automated away over the next 10 to 15 years and no one is talking about this. I am the only one addressing this vital issue. I am also the most aggressive candidate in the country when it comes to fighting climate change.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

We are beyond local politics, our local priorities are our national priorities: climate change, public transport, housing and the impact of job automation.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

Immediately halt all fossil fuel exploration, extractions and subsidies. This is a simple first step of many we need to take on fighting climate change.
