You too, you can reform the Seanad by giving Rosaleen McDonagh your number one vote. The Seanad needs change not abolition. It needs new voices. It needs diverse voices. It needs to bring forward the diversity of Irish society in a way that is not happening in the Dáil.

Rosaleen McDonagh is an Independent candidate. She has no familial or political affiliations with politicians or political parties. As a Traveller woman with a disability, Rosaleen is an alternative voice. The call for change, for political reform, comes from the margins of Irish society whose voice is not heard in the sheltered realms of the Oireachtas.

Rosaleen urges voters to transfer to other independent candidates like Robin Hanan whose campaign is focused on issues of social justice.

Rosaleen is running for the Seanad to:

• Change politics and reform the Seanad by offering a new  voice, perspective and analysis,
• Reinvigorate the debate for economic, social, political and  cultural equality in Ireland,
• Advance Travellers’ rights and secure a new deal for a community that has been confined to the margins of Irish society for generations.
• Give visibility to issues of human rights in particular for people with disabilities, for women who experience violence, for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people, and for other minority ethnic groups in our society.
