Becky Kealy is the Vice Chair of Kanturk & District Community Council and currently works in the pharmaceutical industry. She has also featured in an anti-abortion television documentary, and was a candidate for Aontú in Cork North West during 2020 general elections.

My constituency needs real change and that is what I’m offering. Everyday I meet constituents with no hope of owning a home and can’t afford to rent one. Furthermore, successive governments have not invested in public housing, they have left it to the markets and enriched private developers and vulture funds while ordinary people are left behind.

I believe it is ineptitude and lack of will by this Government and previous governments. There is no accountability. Housing, crime, health, immigration and autism services are a mess.

Getting to grips with our housing and health service and ensuring family carers are respected for the priceless contribution they make. We have been calling for some time for the abolishment of the carers means test and we would follow through on our pledge.
