In the honour of my life, granted to me by the people of the constituency of Dublin Bay South, I was elected to Dáil Eireann yesterday surrounded by family, friends, and Social Democrats who formed my all-volunteer campaign team. I can’t actually express my profound gratitude for every vote and ounce of support I received. It has been truly and extraordinarily humbling.
But what my team and I did was only provide the people of this constituency with an alternative. Ultimately, this privilege was granted to me by the voters so that I would seek effective solutions on crises in housing, health, disabilities, climate, and proper governance. And so from now on I take the profound responsibility of representing the people of this constituency and working on their behalf in the Oireachtas and in our national politics.
Thank you so much again. I won’t let you down.
– Eoin Hayes, TD
