The article from The Independent introduces 21-year-old Saoirse Mackin, the youngest candidate running in the Galway City Council elections. An arts student and eco-activist, Mackin is campaigning with the Green Party, focusing on environmental issues, housing, and youth engagement in politics. She aims to bring a fresh perspective to local governance, emphasizing sustainable development and community involvement. Despite her young age, Mackin has already made a name for herself through her activism, particularly in climate change protests, and she hopes to inspire other young people to participate in political processes. Her campaign includes plans to address the housing crisis, promote green initiatives, and ensure that the voices of the youth are heard in local decision-making.
