Biography

O'Donoghue is a secondary school teacher living in Roscommon. She campaigned with Roscommon Together For Yes to repeal the Eighth Amendment. She has organised events focusing on sustainability, plastic waste reduction and climate action.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

Business-as-usual is not working for Roscommon-Galway and many people are looking for change. I will be a strong, green, progressive voice in Dáil Éireann.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Climate action that will bring opportunities for Roscommon-Galway while protecting communities and the environment for our children and grandchildren.

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

I will establish local Just Transition Commissions to bring together individuals, community groups, local authorities and state bodies to form long-term plans for each area. Communities need to be at the centre of all decision-making.
