Seán Crowe TD

A lifelong community activist from Tallaght, Seán is married to Pamela and lives in Raheen.  In February 2001 he was elected as a TD for the second time for the constituency of Dublin South West.

Seán political beliefs centre around empowering communities. He believes that people from all backgrounds must work together to improve services and facilities for local residents and in doing so, help create a safe new environment for our families and ourselves to enjoy.
