The critical issue with the Party’s disciplinary process is to restore trust in its fairness. The rules and their enforcement must offer dignity, respect and make the promises of membership rights a reality.

The Forde report identified the risk that the disciplinary process could be used factionally; the reforms since the EHRC report have not removed that risk nor rebuilt a culture of trust.

I am an experienced Party activist, and have acted as a workers’ companion for the last eight years. I am experienced in assessing cases of bullying and discrimination. I have been trained in employment and equality law.

I will act with fairness, consider all the evidence, and take advice on the law where necessary.

I am supported by the CLGA and would ask you to vote for me, and my running mates, Rachel Garnham, Caoimhe Ní Dhónaill and Harry Stratton.
