Having been first elected to Kildare County Council at the age of 24, Naoise served as a Mayor of Kildare from 2021 to 2022. He works in the tech sector and prioritises local issues like education, childcare, social infrastructure and cost of living.

I chose to run in this election after years of dedicated work in North Kildare, where I've focused on delivering real improvements. I believe our community needs a pragmatic, committed voice in the Dáil to drive meaningful change. I’m committed to delivering on the issues that affect us daily, from infrastructure to community resources, with a strong, solution-focused approach.

The most pressing issue facing the country is the lack of infrastructure keeping pace with housing development, particularly in rapidly growing areas like Kildare North. We need a comprehensive approach that ensures social, transport, and public facilities grow alongside our communities.

If elected, my first speech in the Dáil would focus on ensuring that communities like ours have the infrastructure they need to thrive, from public transport to social facilities. I want to be a strong advocate for sustainable growth that genuinely benefits all residents in Kildare and beyond.
