Geoghegan sought to move past the controversy over the selection process, after former Dublin Bay South TD Kate O’Connell had claimed that her path to the nomination was effectively blocked. The councillor mentioned the O’Devaney Gardens’ redevelopment as an example of the housing initiatives he has supported.

“Clearly this is in my opinion the crisis of the next decade, how we are going to ensure that everyone has access to home ownership,” he said. We experienced this yesterday in fact, we were in Sandymount and met a young solicitor who feels she’s paying too much rent, too high a rent and doesn’t see how she’s going get on the property ladder. There are lots of other people in lots of different walks of life who are in the same situation, we see it all the time.

“I put myself forward for nomination, no other person put themselves forward for nomination. I made my case to the members who were are broad demographic of gender and everything else. I was successful and they’ve supported me,” he said. “I was employed by Lucinda Creighton as her parliamentary assistant when she was still a member of Fine Gael,” he said.

Riiiiiiiiight... No. No thanks. Hell no.

He is pointing at an ice cream van saying I should of got a 99 This cornetto is shite

He wants it now while everythings open and the weather warm as once the cold sets in and the common cold returns were back to lockdowns

Can we have a general election, that's what's needed.

We would prefer your resignation but that won't happen either.

Yes and no doubt it will be a corrupt FG politician that gets the seat

Of course he is, that's a golden ticket to Dail, or even Taoiseach's position, to promise the masses solution of the housing crisis. First of all, please publish which of the TDs are Landladies/Landlords. Not saying it's a crime to be one, but...

🤢

If he needs advice tell to contact Eoghan Murphy former minister for housing, Dope

PULL THE OTHER ONE

He's the voice of about 1% of that generation given his Renua failures. The other 99% told him get bent already.

We need a general election for that …

Why doesn't Twitter have a laugh button?

You mean the very same generation who have been locked out of the housing market by FineGael , the very party he is with!!! DublinBaySouth A Vote for this guy is a vote to lock your children, your neighbours children and this generation of young people out of the market!!!

Turkey wants to vote for Christmas

Yes, for the “affordable “ €450 k houses.for those on €90-€100k !!😂😂

But shock horror the Barrister is a home owner.

First thing that came to Mind , kidding no one lad 😂

If he wanted to be the voice for the generation locked out of housing, he shouldn't be with the party that helped create the crisis in the first place Then again, this is the same James Geoghegan who lobbied for tobacco companies, so least he knows where he stands with companies

He's funny...

'I'd like to represent all the people who never won the lotto. I have won the lotto myself but I understand their pain'

'I never thought leopards would eat MY face' sobs man running for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

A silver spoon all his life, have we learned anything. People in that category have no understanding of housing crisis, ask Mr murphy

Look at the way Varadkar holds his Ice Cream, he's a seagulls dream

We need a real voice not a tow the line slug just after the money

Need to ask a favour lads, can yee sit there until the tide comes in please? Thanks.

And he’s a member of a party who’ve been in power for nearly a decade and have fueled a massive housing crisis by their slavishness to the market. This chapain’t gonna change that with this disingenuous slogan

Another fuckbuddy of leaky Leo 😝🤪

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
