Dublin Mid West is more than just a constituency to me; it's home and it’s the heartbeat of my work.

From supporting small businesses to ensuring families can comfortably live and work where they call home, I'm dedicated to being a strong voice for the people of Lucan, Palmerstown, Clondalkin, Rathcoole, Newcastle, Saggart, Brittas, and Citywest.

My Priorities

I am deeply committed to supporting the families, workers, and businesses of Dublin Mid-West. Before entering politics, I built my career in business, and throughout my time in politics I have worked to champion enterprise, innovation, and opportunities—particularly for women in business.

As Minister of State, I have been privileged to serve in a number of important roles. I served as Minister of State with responsibility for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, where I focused on modernising public services, driving digital transformation, and ensuring the State uses its purchasing power effectively and responsibly.

Today, as Minister of State with responsibility for Disability, I am committed to advancing inclusion, improving services, and ensuring that people with disabilities and their families are supported to live full, independent, and empowered lives.

I have worked closely with Chambers of Commerce, employer representative bodies, trade unions, community organisations, and the many SMEs that are the backbone of our local economy. Across Lucan, Clondalkin, Palmerstown, Newcastle, Rathcoole, Saggart, Brittas, and Citywest, I have seen firsthand the ambition, resilience, and community spirit that make Dublin Mid-West such a special place.

While there are undoubtedly challenges ahead, I remain focused on delivering practical solutions to improve the quality of life for every family in our community. I remain focused on protecting and supporting people with disabilities and ensuring that no one is left behind.
