Orla Nugent, Aontú, Teacher, Galway. ⛵️

Orla Nugent, Aontú Candidate in the upcoming 2026 Galway West Bye-Election. Transcript.

Orla has previously said, sending her into the Dáil Éireann to sit alongside Peadar Tóibín and Paul Lawless would be a major wake up call for the government. Orla wants to join Peadar and Paul in the Dail. They might be a bit lonely in the Dáil (Irish Parliament)! Orla's aim s to ‘’inject accountability’’ in the Dail.[1]

Here’s Orla in action in her campaign.

’'Orla Nugent here the Aontú candidate for Galway West. I'm with the party leader Peadar Tóibín. A big issue coming up in the doors is housing. There's lack of affordable housing. People are finding it very difficult to get on the property ladder.’’ 

Mairead Kenny, Politics and More podcast. I'm here with Orla Nugent in Galway City. Thanks, Orla, for meeting. I really appreciate because your very busy now with the Galway Bye-Election. Continued in the Transcript.
