Paul has served more than ten years as a city councillor in Dublin. He is the current Lord Mayor of Dublin and is a previous chairperson of the city's Economic and Community Committees. He has worked with sporting and community groups in the area.

I believe there is a need to deliver a change of government. Having served as a city councillor and Lord Mayor, I know the issues which need to be addressed by a new government, particularly in health and housing. I am anxious to be part of that change.

Ensuring that we provide housing option for all our people and that this is delivered in a well-planned way, so that it strengthens our community.

To implement the recommendations of the Lord Mayor's working group on illegally-driven scrambler bikes and to honour the promise I made to Fridays for Future students on climate action.
