Fidelma Bennett wants better housing and equality around the ballot box.
Radical change will come about in politics if more women get involved - that's the view of Labour General Election candidate Fidelma Bennett.
She's running in Longford Westmeath following her local election bid in Mullingar in June in which she narrowly missed out on a seat.
Nationally, the upcoming vote will see 248 women running - the largest ever number contesting for seats and a 53 per cent increase on the number of women who ran in the 2020 General
Election.
Ms Bennett's manifesto focuses on providing more afforable housing.
She believes more women in the Dail will get things done:
