Pádraig Mac Lochlainn is a Sinn Fein TD for Donegal since 2020, and is the party's spokesperson on fisheries and the marine. He is also Sinn Féin's chief whip. He was previously a councillor on Donegal County Council.

There needs to be a change of government so that the needs of the people of Donegal can be addressed. A Sinn Féin government can deliver the positive change that Donegal needs, including 100% redress for the victims of the defective concrete products scandal, for housing, health services, childcare services and cost of living challenges.

The housing crisis. We cannot accept a society where a working family cannot afford to put a roof over the heads.

If elected, my first speaking time will be on the subject of 100% redress and equal citizenship and justice for all of the victims of the defective concrete products and defective apartments scandals across Ireland.
