Having just watched a very interesting episode of the Vincent Browne Show, I was inspired to write this post. Dylan Haskins, a candidate in the Dublin South East constituency, is quite simply a breath of fresh air. Young and enthusiastic with real policies and real opinions, he is exactly what this country needs right now. I was particularly impressed at how a young candidate like Dylan handled himself against veteran journalist Browne. Often an intimidating interviewer, Dylan was unphased by Browne's reputation. He answered Browne's questions in an open and upfront manner and with the confidence of a man far beyond his years. When asked what sets him apart from Fine Gael candidates, Dylan stated that he stands for transperency and communicating with voters. Dylan has accounted for every Euro spent throughout his election campaign, giving full details on his website.
He is happy to answer any questions asked of him and is prepared to engage in open debate with voters. If constituents find that they are not at home when he calls to the homes on the campaign trail, he is only too happy to answer questions on his facebook page. On that point alone, he is unique in his tireless effort to interact with voters and listen to what they have to say. In times like these, constituents want a TD who will be there for them when they need him/her. In Dylan Haskins, they will be guaranteed just that. I just wish we had a candidate like him in Kildare South.
Although I cannot vote for Dylan myself, I wanted to express my support for him in his campaign as I feel Ireland is in desperate need of a fresh perspective from a young and energetic candidate. If you are in the Dublin South East constituency, please vote for Dylan Haskins.
