Alan Kerrigan has strong feelings on the current state of the political system and believes that Politics is a calling, not a career and not a JOB for life. We need competent individuals to stand up to the plate and fix our country's broken political system. Our leaders and elected representatives, in some positions, have never held a JOB. They come straight from school and land positions like health minister in charge of the hugely complicated operation and a budget of 17 billion euros. Lives matter and Kerrigan says he can no longer stand by and see our democracy fall into the hands of limelight seekers and career politicians. While looking at the lineup of candidates for Dublin South Central I decided enough is enough, I can no longer sit on the sideline giving out to the TV or talking politics from the sofa, Change will only happen by confronting it head-on. Lots of you will criticize me for running some already have. Let me say this to you. It very easy to talk the big lecture from the convenience of your sofa or to sit on the toilet trolling the internet with bad vibes. But remember this fellow citizen, you are on the sofa or bar stool maybe even the jacks. I want to make a difference. I should not be Tarred with the same brush let us work together reach out to me with your ideas.
