Oliver Moran is a Green Party representative and spokesperson for Cork North-Central. His priorities are transport, housing, local government reforms, housing solutions and end of use of single-use plastics.

I feel encouraged after the support I received during the local elections. I'm very grateful for that support and for the encouragement I'm receiving again. I hope I take an approach to green politics that people see as being a mix of determination and also being really relevant to everyone's day-to-day life. From housing, to transport, to a real sense of local representation.

Housing and climate change. We've seen in Cork how these are overlapping issues with extreme floods devastating homes in Glanmire and Midleton. We’ve allowed vested interests and a status quo bias to slow down the urgent need to address them both.

I wouldd talk about the privilege and responsibility that comes with representing people and also the agenda that they elected me on. It would be very important for me if I was elected to make sure I left a lasting impression in the time I had in the Dáil, whether it was through legislation or policy.
