In his first interview since the November general election, Mr. Wallace expressed his commitment to remaining engaged with important social issues, particularly mental health services, citing Ireland's low funding in this area. Despite finishing ninth in Wexford, where he received 1,615 first preference votes, he has no regrets about running, believing it was essential to present himself as a candidate. He also voiced grave concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, criticizing insufficient government responses to these global issues while commending President Higgins for his moral positions.
"What we've seen in Palestine since 1948 for the years that we were alive has been horrific. And what we've seen in the last 16 months is just off the Richter scale altogether."
"I will continue to pressure the Government on the provision of mental health services. Ireland is among the countries spending the lowest percentage of its health budget on mental health services."
