Local Councillor Adrienne Wallace has been named as the People Before Profit candidate in the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency in the upcoming General Election.

She’s served on Carlow County Council since 2019 and is well known for her activism on a range of issues locally.

Now, she’s calling for an end to the “100 year rule” of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, and has voiced her optimism ahead of the ballot box roll-out, after a better than expected showing for Solidarity-PBP in the local elections.

Speaking to KCLR News, Cllr Wallace outlined the issues that she intends to run on in the campaign, noting; “I think in the last election we were told the spin that Carlow needs its own TD, Carlow trusted that vision and ultimately I think it’s failed, Carlow is actually worse off than it’s ever been, the latest council figures show that there’s 180 people presenting as homeless in August which is the highest I’ve ever seen it, the CDNT is particularly acute here in terms of long waiting lists and we still have no injury care unit so I think in very real terms people in Carlow and Kilkenny cannot afford another term of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael”.

Adrienne’s the sixteenth person to declare across the two counties – all of the Carlow based hopefuls are female while she’s the fifth sitting councillor hoping for the seat Leinster House.

Other’s include a sitting Minister of State with two other TDs.
