There’s still time to check seanadvoter.ie and get registered for the Seanad Higher Education constituency before the February 26th deadline.
Please don’t assume you’re on the list as voters on the previous NUI and TCD panels were not automatically added to this new register.
Go to seanadvoter.ie to check and get yourself registered
Last night Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil balanced a €9m hole in our council’s budget, caused by giving a 15pc tax cut to Local Property Tax, by hiking council tenants rents and increasing car parking charges and green waste charges.

Third level students and their families deserve better than false promises. This government should scrap the €1,000 hike in fees without delay, so that students can prepare and budget for the academic term ahead.
Huge honour to chair my first Climate Action Strategic Policy Committee last night. Looking forward to the term ahead.
Congratulations to the three incumbent senators in this final NUI election. Outstanding results! Huge thanks to everyone who voted, nominated, campaigned for and supported me 💚 Best of luck to my Green Party colleagues over in TCD 🌻
