Christopher O' Sullivan is a Fianna Fáil TD for Cork South West and is the Party Spokesperson on Environment, Climate Action and Biodiversity, and for Coastal Communities. First elected to the Dáil in 2020, he was previously a Cork County Councillor between 2007-2020, and mayor in 2019-2020.

Over the past four and a half years, I have dedicated myself to serving this constituency, and delivered significant progress in health (in particular Bantry Hospital) and education, with over 50 new school extensions. I want to keep delivering for the people of West Cork and continue to be their strong voice in the Dáil.

The cost of living crisis. If elected, I will push for targeted supports to raise the higher income tax threshold to €50,000, cut the lower USC rate to 1.5%, increase the state pension, and reduce childcare fees to €200 monthly. We must also invest in affordable renewables and lower energy costs.

Housing and infrastructure will be my first priorities. I will work to make homeownership more accessible, support local planning, and encourage the reuse of vacant properties. Cork South West needs fair road funding and investment in key routes like the N71. Additional Uisce Éireann funding must prioritise legacy wastewater treatment facilities across the region.
