Dublin Fingal
Councillor and social care worker
27
Mulligan was elected to Fingal County Council in May 2019. He was an unsuccessful contender in the Dublin Fingal November by-elections. He was an organiser of the Right2Water campaign in Swords and works in social care.
I don\'t think people under the age of 25 have people that represent them in the Dáil at the moment. I want to help them see that issues such as housing and affordability are political decisions.
The biggest issue in my area, like everywhere, is housing. Also education. I work with children who have Autism and it\'s clear we need to invest in more specialist schools and put schools in better locations for parents and children to access them.
I can\'t promise what I can do in this time frame, because I don\'t know what influence I would have. What I aspire to do and what I will be able to do if elected are very different. Voting me in isn\'t the answer, but by voting for enough like-minded people it can make a difference.
