How's it going? I’m Cllr Dermot 'Daisy' O'Brien. Welcome to my page.

Let's get the obvious out the way first! I am a local politician in Bray. I was first elected in 2019 and re-elected again in 2024!

It is my honour to be the current Cathaoirleach of Bray and I hope that my term will reflect my passion for inclusion, engagement and participation.

Alongside the political stuff I want to remind everyone that I am also an educator, a youth worker, a trauma trainer, a writer, a parent of teens and someone who is very passionate about community!

We are in a moment of CHANGE in Irish politics. We are facing challenges on so many levels and we can no longer afford to be led by those who would serve themselves first. The opportunity to build a fairer and more inclusive society is right there, we just need to grasp it.

If you check out the bottom of this page you will see 8 logos. Clicking them will give you a full flavour of who I am, what I believe in, what I am involved in, what I care about, what I write about, talk about and what motivates me. You will even get a sense of what type of music I listen to!
