Young People

It is imperative that the voice of young adults in Tipperary are heard at a national level. Your concerns have been highlighted to me and need to be brought to a national forum where legislation and resources can be allocated. You are the future of Tipperary and the country and your creativity, energy and innovation must be allowed to thrive if Ireland is to continue to grow. The main areas I am addressing are:

• Car Insurance: Young adults under 25 are being unfairly treated by the insurance industry
  with the highest car insurance premiums in Europe. I will challenge the insurance industry
  directly in the Dáil and campaign government for reform
• Affordable Accommodation: Every citizen of Ireland deserves a place to live which is both
  affordable and of a high standard. I will work locally with my team of county councillors and
  the government to build new affordable houses and apartments in Tipperary. This can be
  achieved through sustainable house building programs and property acquisitions
• Climate Change: It is essential that every citizen and industry adopt a more climate efficient
  approach if we are to provide a healthy planet for future generations to inherit. I will raise
  awareness at government level and support developing new energy efficient technology for
  industry to leave a positive carbon footprint.
