He is the host of popular Classic Hits Radio show, Nite Time Talk with Niall Boylan and confirmed his candidacy on air.

There are four seats to contest in Dublin.

Mr Boylan said: “I’ve spent 30 years behind the microphone listening to the issues people are facing in their everyday lives. Serious issues. I came to realise that there are often no options for these people and this upsets me on a daily basis. I believe there needs to be change, and I’ve decided to stand up and be counted and be part of the solution."
