Andrew Mannion has been selected as the People Before Profit candidate for the forthcoming general election in the Roscommon-Galway constituency.
The trade unionist works as a support worker for the Brothers of Charity in Ballinasloe.
He says that in this election we will have the opportunity to finally end 100 years of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil rule.
He adds they leave behind a legacy of a housing crisis, hospital waiting lists and a chronic lack of resources and supports for children and people with additional needs.
He's calling for the establishment of an Irish NHS and free childcare in a public system.
