Why Vote for Me? 

I'm not a career politician. I'm someone who’s worked hard and feels unrepresented by the usual political figures. I feel we can do so much better in Europe. As the only candidate free from party affiliations, I am committed to representing your interests in Europe.

From my canvassing trail it's clear that Dubliners want a candidate who:

- is NOT a career politician
- is a first time candidate and is 100% fully independent 
- does not make unrealistic promises / does not try to say he has all the answers, but is someone who is willing to listen to concerns and advocate on the behalf of all Dubliners
- has professional experience dealing with complicated EU legislation, which I have from my career as a scientist
- is in it for all the right reasons

NO other candidate ticks all the above boxes. Vote Stephen O'Rourke No. 1 on 7th June!
