Sadhbh O’Neill Bio
I am an environmental activist, researcher and lecturer with 30 years of experience. My expertise is in climate and environmental policy, and I am a regular contributor to the Irish Times. The Seanad needs a voice for the environment and climate and I am asking for your Number One vote.
A vote for me is a vote for people-centred climate action. I will campaign for policies and propose legislative reforms to accelerate the energy transition, and to protect and restore nature. I will hold the government to account in relation to Ireland’s legally binding climate targets. Our economic security depends on a green transition but we must do this in a way that is both fast and fair for all our people and that supports businesses too. As a senator I will press for more investment in public transport, secure and sustainable funding for higher education, affordable housing, electoral reforms and corporate accountability.
