Independent Ireland is proud to announce the candidacy of Edel Doran for the Kildare North constituency in the upcoming general election. Edel, a dedicated community healthcare worker, has spent years on the frontline, providing crucial care to the elderly and vulnerable members of society. Her decision to run for Dáil Éireann stems from her firsthand experience with the challenges facing Ireland’s healthcare system and the broader struggles of hardworking taxpayers.

Edel Doran highlighted the motivation behind her candidacy:
"As a dedicated community healthcare worker, I am deeply involved in providing essential care to the elderly and vulnerable members of our society. Working on the frontlines, I witness firsthand the challenges our healthcare system faces due to ineffective government policies. Care workers are often underpaid, working for the bare minimum, and rarely acknowledged by the government for their efforts.
I also see the immense pressure caused by the shortage of trained professionals within the healthcare sector. This is why I have decided to run for Dáil Éireann—to be a voice for healthcare workers and a champion for hardworking taxpayers."

Michael Collins TD, leader of Independent Ireland, praised Edel’s dedication and commitment to her community:
"Edel Doran is an outstanding representative of everything Independent Ireland stands for. She works tirelessly, not only as a healthcare worker but also as an advocate for better conditions for her colleagues and the people they care for. Her passion for healthcare reform and her determination to ensure fairness for hardworking families make her the perfect candidate for Kildare North. We are thrilled to have her on board."

Ken O’Flynn, Chairperson of Independent Ireland, also expressed his support for Edel’s campaign:
"Edel's frontline experience in healthcare brings a unique and essential perspective to our party. She understands the real, everyday challenges that face our healthcare system, and she has the determination and vision to push for meaningful reform. Her candidacy for Kildare North is a vital step toward ensuring that the voices of healthcare workers and taxpayers are heard in Dáil Éireann. I encourage the people of Kildare North to support her in bringing about the real change we need."

Edel Doran’s campaign will focus on healthcare reform, advocating for fair pay and recognition for healthcare workers, and ensuring that hardworking taxpayers are given the representation they deserve in Irish politics. Independent Ireland is confident that Edel’s candidacy will bring a fresh and much-needed perspective to Kildare North.
