Aubrey McCarthy

Aubrey McCarthy is an Irish businessman, social activist and a Founder and Chairman of Tiglin, providing opportunities, housing, rehabilitation and vital supports to those affected by homelessness and addiction since 2008.

As a former candidate for Seanat Eireann as a Trinity College Dublin graduate, Aubrey explained: "In my own life, I have tried to balance success in business with commitment to others. In 2008, I founded Tiglin, a charity that helps people overcome addiction and homelessness. We have assisted hundreds of people and their families to improve their lives. We believe in each person’s potential. We get results that benefit the whole of society.

I am running for the Seanad because the lessons I have learned through my work need a strong voice in the Oireachtas. We need to focus on inequality but also on solutions that make sense and get results. I can make a positive contribution. The Seanad is a forum where different voices can bring perspectives often not heard in the Dáil, voices that are needed in the Oireachtas. I want to contribute with practical ideas about a strong economy and social justice.

I have a record of action, an agenda for change and my priorities if elected will include:

Access to housing Access to education Protecting the environment and sustainability Supporting small and medium sized businesses Tackling violence against women"
