Meet Sinéad

I’m Sinéad Gibney, the Social Democrats TD for Dublin Rathdown.

I became a politician because I believe we should all have a roof over our heads, be looked after when we’re sick, and receive support when we need it, regardless of means, and I don’t think those things will be delivered with our current government.

Before politics, I was the Chief Commissioner, and previously the inaugural Director, of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission. I also founded and led the corporate social responsibility function for Google Ireland.

I raised my daughter as a lone parent, and I’m now married to my wonderful partner, Mark. I’m using all that experience to represent the people of Dublin Rathdown in Leinster House.

As a TD I want to champion peace and diplomacy, a fair deal for workers, and public spending and services that are accountable and deliver for the people of Ireland.

Sinéad’s Priorities

  • Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy – Pursuing robust regulation to ensure online safety and that law and policy get ahead of AI.
  • Defence – Maintaining the triple lock and protecting Ireland’s neutrality, while funding our Defence Forces to get back to a point of proper functioning.
  • Workers’ Rights – Pushing for fair pay for fair work, the right to organise, and protections for workers against retaliation.
  • Equality – Upholding human rights and protections for minority groups, including people with disabilities, LGBTQI+ people, and ethnic minorities.
  • Arts – Supporting artists and the arts to allow for works that enrich our society and lives.
  • Sport – Championing sport as a public good, investing in municipal facilities and funding for grassroots and elite sport.

Cuir aithne ar Shinéad

Is mise Sinéad Gibney, an t-iarrthóir Dála leis na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta i mBaile Átha Cliath-Ráth an Dúin.

Ba mise Príomh-Choimisinéir Choimisiún na hÉireann um Chearta an Duine agus Comhionannas go dtí le déanaí. Rinne mé an fheidhm freagrachta sóisialta corparáidí a bhunú agus a stiúradh do Google Ireland freisin.

Thóg mé m’iníon aníos mar thuismitheoir aonair agus táim pósta anois le mo chéile iontach, Mark. Sheas mé sna Toghcháin Eorpacha le déanaí mar iarrthóir na nDaonlathaithe Sóisialta i mBaile Átha Cliath. Ba mhaith liom mo thaithí go léir a úsáid le hionadaíocht a dhéanamh do mhuintir Bhaile Átha Cliath-Ráth an Dúin i dTeach Laighean.

Tá mé ar bís go mbeidh duine de na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta ar do bhallóid den chéad uair san olltoghchán atá ar na bacáin. Creidimid, mar pháirtí, in Éirinn ionchuimsitheach, chothrom agus chóir, ina dtugtar tús áite do dhínit, do mheas agus do chomhionannas torthaí.

Rinne mé an cinneadh dul leis an bpolaitíocht mar gheall go gcreidim gur cheart go mbeadh díon os cionn gach duine, gur cheart go dtabharfaí aire dúinn nuair a bhímid breoite, agus gur cheart go dtabharfaí tacaíocht dúinn nuair a bhíonn sí de dhíth orainn, gan aird ar acmhainn.

Tosaíochtaí Shinéad

  • Cothroime Gheilleagrach – Baile Átha Cliath níos cothroime a chruthú, inar féidir le daoine teacht ar obair mhaith agus ar áiteanna cónaithe maithe.
  • Tithíocht – Clár tithíochta inacmhainne le níos mó tithíocht inacmhainne a sholáthar i mBaile Átha Cliath.
  • Slándáil – Riail an dlí a chosaint, agus dul i mbun bearta láidre in aghaidh iad siúd a bhagraíonn uirthi, agus neodracht na hÉireann á cosaint ag an am céanna.
  • An Aeráid – Gníomhú ar son na haeráide le breoslaí iontaise a fhágáil inár ndiaidh agus le deiseanna a bhaineann le haistriú cóir a thapú.
  • Cearta Oibrithe – Bearta dearfacha a úsáid le cearta oibrithe a chur chun cinn.
  • Comhionannas – Seasamh le cearta daonna agus le cosaintí do ghrúpaí mionlaigh, daoine faoi mhíchumas, daoine LADTAI+, agus mionlaigh eitneacha ina measc.
