Cllr Declan Flanagan

Having been elected for Beaumont-Donaghmede, Declan also understands the importance of strong public service and is committed to improving facilities in the newly formed Artane-Whitehall ward .

Some of the issues he is passionate about include:

• Local Property tax (LPT): to ensure it is kept to a minimum and spent locally in our area on the improvement of libraries, parks, roads and childcare facilities
• Affordable housing: A new scheme to be rolled out to help first time buyers
• Sentencing laws: to change the current system to stop repeat offenders by ending concurrent sentences
• More CCTV to be rolled out in key public areas to deter anti-social behaviour and keep our neighbourhoods safe
• Greater supports are needed for small to medium sized businesses. They are the backbone of our communities
• Increase in funding for disability services.
• Climate change to be proactively tackled through concrete measures and actions
