Sir, – As the rumours continue to swirl about the date of the next general election, may I please remind candidates that voters also live in apartment blocks?
I am 17 years in my present apartment, never once have I been canvassed for any election or referendum, nor have I heard anecdotal evidence of the same from my neighbours. This is true for other apartment dwellers I know all over Dublin. As a young renter in the city centre before becoming a homeowner, I was also never canvassed.
Views that all apartment dwellers are transient, students or otherwise disinterested in politics are outdated. Hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland live in multi-unit developments and most of them will vote.
It’s a foolish party that ignores us just because you have to try harder to get into the building.
The welcome I received from Jennifer Johnston is something I will never forget

‘My son is getting married in the summer, and the likelihood is that I’m going to be able to see that’
Is it true that women need more sleep each night than men?
As we are likely to have a winter election, remember too that you could be warm and dry while canvassing inside a multi-unit development! – Yours, etc,
CLAIRE BRADLEY,
Swords,
Co Dublin.
