Sinn Féin Councillor Janice Boylan selected to stand alongside party leader Mary Lou McDonald in Dublin Central in the general election.
Ms Boylan, who has been a councillor for ten years, has vowed to be a voice that stands up for working class communities.
"I am a passionate advocate for our communities because I have seen, first hand, the devastating impact that the decades of neglect by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have had on decent people and hard working communities right across this constituency.
"Our communities deserve so much better than that, and the upcoming general election offers the opportunity to turn the page on the Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael-made crises in housing, health and the cost of living.
"As a mother and grandmother, I am determined to play my part in building a better future for my three children and two grandchildren, and for everyone in our community looking to build a life for themselves".
Ms McDonald said that she was delighted to be joined on the ticket by Ms Boylan.
"Janice was born and raised in the Inner City. She has spent her entire adult life standing up for ordinary workers, families and our incredible communities.
"As a TD, Janice would be relentless in fighting your corner in Dáil."
Ms Boylan said that Sinn Féin was the party that will bring homeownership back into reach for working people.
"There is a choice for voters to make between the repeated failures of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, or a new government led by Mary Lou that will roll-up its sleeves and get down to work, delivering real solutions and a better life for workers, families and communities," she said.
