Fine Gael have turned to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Gerry Breen, as they attempt to win their first seat in Dublin North-West for eighteen years. Breen, who has represented his native Clontarf ward on Dublin City Council since 1999, was elected as Lord Mayor in June 2010. Breen's only previous general election campaign ended in defeat when he challenged for a seat in Dublin North-Central in 2002.
Seeing as how you’re running in my constituency and I’ve honestly never heard of you at all, what have you or your party done for people of Ballymun and surrounding area’s in the past ?
Will you commit publicly to supporting the regeneration of Ballymun in the future if elected ?
Honestly like, I dunno who you are at all and I see you were/are Mayor of Dublin too, never heard of you doing anything there either.
Also, have you any comment to make on the death of Rachel Peavoy who died of hypothermia due to having the heating in the flats complex she lived in, in Ballymun, cut off by Dublin City Council, I presume at your ultimate request or approval given you’re Mayor ?
have your say
