'I fought to keep lights on in Gerry Hutch's boxing club' - Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon hits back at rival's putdown

"In the last few years, we've had four TDs, but we've had no representatives. They're politicians, but they're doing shag all. That’s the way the community sees it."

"Does Gerry Hutch know the work that I've had to do over the last number of years just to try to get the money together to pay the electricity for his own boxing club?"

"The inner city is dealing with trauma that is generational and it won't be solved by someone pretending to be some sort of saviour."

"The dogged work is what happens after all the cameras switch off, and we have to go into the community centers, looking for funding and addressing needs."
