I’m the Green Party candidate for Ballyfermot-Drimnagh.
I’m working to improve public spaces, tame the traffic, build more homes, and ensure our area is a welcoming, progressive part of the city.
If there’s any issue I can assist with, or if you’d like to get involved to help get a Green councillor elected in May 2024, please do get in touch.
You can reach me by email at ray.cunningham@greenparty.ie, by phone on 089 494 8486, or on Twitter or Instagram.
