Time is running out to a) re-register for your #seanad vote and b) to post your #seanad25 vote
If you haven't done both, make a note and do it this week.
Candidate info sheet (compiled by me) here:
#seanad24 #ge24
docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
A really helpful spreadsheet with information on the Seanad candidates #ge24 #seanad #seanad25 #seanad24
If you've come here from my #seanad24 #se24 spreadsheet, you may enjoy my other long-term data collection project - Ireland's #GenderPayGap portal site.
The govt. failed to provide a central portal, so I did it myself. 3 years (so far) of pay gap data, searchable, downloadable, etc.

Leaflet Ossian Smyth. Climate Innovation Inclusion
Climate action With a new government that may depend on climate sceptics, I will fight to keep climate action on the agenda in the years to come. Innovation As a science graduate in politics, I have the skills and experience to connect multiple disciplines to tackle challenges like climate and equality. Inclusion I believe that diversity is a source of strength. As TCD Senator, I would use my platform to fight for equal access to education and employment. I graduated from Computer Science at TCD in 1993. My time in Trinity opened my mind, and my love of nature led me to be elected as a TD and become Minister of State for Environment. Now, I want to represent you in Seanad Éireann as a strong voice for climate action, innovation and inclusion.

I got my first Seanad election leaflet! Ossian Smyth isn’t on Bluesky yet? 🦋 TIL: Lost seat in general election. Glancing at site, no mention of Green Party? I am confuse. Will read up later.

#Seanad24
Seanad ballots are arriving, so a reminder that I'm gathering candidate info here. Decent amount in there so far and I'll be updating more soon.
#ge24 #seanad24
It's #ge24 #seanad #seanad25 #seanad24 time (I don't know what we're using yet!) so it's time for the return of the spreadsheet that earned me a coveted special mocking section on Gript last time.

I'll be gathering datapoints on key issues for each candidate.
I'm excited for the panels to expand beyond NUI and Trinity, not only for greater representation, but because of the larger opportunity to finally oust Rónán Mullen into the bin where he belongs.
