In recent days and weeks, many in local media and on social media have been highlighting the horrible traffic congestion faced by those living in and around our city. Alongside these many complaints, some have highlighted supposed ‘solutions’ to the gridlock - conservative suggestions, which ultimately include even more lanes for traffic and additional parking spaces. There is a better alternative, which is actually based on best-practice in urban planning across Europe; reducing the number of cars on the road by providing additional transport options and by planning for medium-density, mixed-use buildings, which can build thriving, walkable communities. The traffic congestion in a city like Waterford is not normal. Nor is it normal in Galway, nor in Dublin. This is caused, simply, by too many people driving. And that is due, in part, to a lack of freedom to choose how we want to travel safely and efficiently. I am one such example; despite never once driving anywhere else I've lived, preferring to cycle or use public transport, my life in Waterford is dominated by driving, due to a lack of safe and segregated bike paths, severe urban sprawl, and abysmal public transport for a city the size of Waterford. Our lack of public transport infrastructure in our cities makes Ireland the clear outlier among European countries. Many similarly-populated cities across our continent have at least one tram line, and a large number of bus routes - with some providing 24-hour coverage. During my local and general election campaigns, I found 10 French and German cities the size of Waterford which have tramlines. In particular, I highlighted the example of Dessau-Rosslau in Germany, a city of similar size, which contains two tram lines, 14 bus routes, including six night routes, and a commuter rail system. Maybe, instead of calling to make our city actively worse to exist in by undoing pedestrianisation and adding extra lanes of traffic - we can pressure those in power to buil…

A predicted team sheet for an upcoming hurling match created/generated by ChatGPT. Filled with inaccuracies to put it mildly.
Proof that #ChatGPT is little more than a glorified toy (& not a very good one at that)

Statement on Waterford Airport: Waterford Airport is just the tip of the iceberg, with countless other examples of underinvestment in our county hidden beneath the surface. It is time for all candidates in Waterford to be more ambitious and to get serious on the systems which cause Waterford to be left behind. As Waterford Airport monopolises the conversation, our county continues to be left behind in countless other ways. The €12 million in public funding requested for the runway extension represents just 0.1% of the €115 billion spent by the State last year, and I hope that all candidates and all voters in Waterford ask themselves in the coming weeks: “is this really the height of our ambitions for our county?” It might not feel like it when we look around at the state of our public services and infrastructure, but we live in one of the wealthiest countries per capita in the world. Instead of following some other candidates who clamber to show the strongest support for the latest specific example of underinvestment in Waterford before managing our ambitions as a county post-election, I’d like to push for greater ambition for our county and region. (1/3)
Statement on Waterford Airport: One clear deficit in our infrastructure is that in Ireland, unique among our neighbours, we lack a rail line between our 5th and 2nd cities. Think of how transformative a direct Waterford-Cork train would be for the local communities of Tramore, Dungarvan, Youghal, and Midleton along a potential new coastal route. It could revolutionise our daily lives in a way that a small regional airport, which some of us may use a handful of times a year at best, could never do. I am calling for a review to be conducted immediately on potential routes, and for other candidates to come out in favour of this common sense policy; the recent All-Island Strategic Rail Review 2050 left a growing Waterford behind yet again, and we must come together as a community to push for more ambition. Ultimately, I don’t think our singular focus as a county should be on any specific project; we have for years attempted to send our politicians into government, or elect independent candidates to the Dáil in the hope of delivering a specific project, while our county and region continues to be forgotten about by Dublin overall. At best, we get a motorway to Dublin. Other times, we end up with major compromises such as a proposed Waterford University becoming a regional South East Technological University or a 24/7 cath lab promise becoming an 8am-8pm service. (2/3)
Statement on Waterford Airport: Instead, I am proposing a radical new approach; to work with others across the country on an ambitious plan to transform the system into one which is more democratic, more decentralised, and more decarbonised. Instead of relying on powerless councillors to ask an unelected local government to follow our wishes as locals, we must demand the right to elect a local government accountable to us, a right which exists around the world. Instead of asking Dublin for funding for each specific project due to living in one of the most centralised countries in the OECD, we must demand a radical decentralisation of powers, responsibilities, and funding to local and regional levels, so that decisions are made by those more accountable to us in Waterford. Changing the system will empower all of us and finally allow Waterford to thrive. (3/3)

A photo of Killian standing behind a table with a big A2 poster which reads 'Rabharta: The Party For Workers And Carers' on it stuck to the front centre of it, with an A3 poster of Killian's face with 'Vote Killian Mangan' attached on either side. The table is set up in John Roberts Square in the centre of Waterford City and has Killian's campaign leaflets on it also.
Our Local Election Candidate for Waterford City & County Council Killian Mangan set up a stall in the city centre yesterday to speak to workers and carers out on the street, with the support of our EU Ireland South Candidate @lornabogue.bsky.social!

"Lack of home delivery through repair and leasing scheme is ‘unforgivable’" and incredible IMHO. The fastest greenest home is the one already built?
