Senator Aideen Hayden Housing, Children and Youth Affairs
Welcome to my website.
I am the Labour Party Spokesperson on Housing, Children and Youth Affairs and a member of the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform. As Chairperson of Threshold, a national housing charity, I have campaigned for over ten years to improve the housing conditions of some of the most vulnerable people in Ireland today.
I believe we now stand at a cross roads with almost 5,000 people homeless and another 100,000 households in mortgage arrears and at risk of losing their homes. In the Seanad I have championed solutions in the area of personal debt, mortgage relief and reform of the banking sector,
I am a qualified solicitor with a degree in economics and have worked for many years in the area of housing and social policy. I was born in Carlow, grew up in Dublin and now live there with my husband, Chris O’Malley, and my two daughters, Elizabeth and Joanna.
If you have any issues that you would like to discuss, do not hesitate to contact me at aideen.hayden@oir.ie
