Kate O'Connell emphasized, "I have no desire to run as a sweeper for any candidate. I want to offer my independent vision and represent the issues that matter to me and my constituents without being tied to party politics."
Discussing her relationship with Fine Gael, O'Connell stated, "There is residual animosity towards me in Fine Gael. It’s challenging to represent a party that hasn't fully accepted my approach or my values, which is why I’m choosing to run independently."
On the topic of financial support for families, O'Connell remarked, "I am against one-off payments. They may provide temporary relief, but they don’t address the underlying issues that families face on a day-to-day basis."
