Adams, Sandra

Sandra Adams is an independent candidate and UCD graduate.  She is an advocate for women’s rights, child safeguarding, free speech and fact-based education.  She is married with two children and during their early years she was a stay-at-home mother.   She has worked as a mental health advocate, community worker, arts producer, and haulage company manager. Sandra was a member of the Social Democrats but has not found, within party politics, a coherent approach that balances individual rights and collective responsibility.

Her campaign theme, Can we have a conversation? invites dialogue on vital issues while questioning how free we are to challenge dominant views without facing accusations of intolerance. ‘Progressive’ legislation often carries unintended consequences, and these must be discussed without fear of offence or censure.

She campaigned with The Countess for a No/No vote during the Family and Care referendums speaking in the media and canvassing on the ground. This experience highlighted the vital role of the Seanad in preventing poorly considered legislation from being blindly accepted and rubber stamped. If elected to Seanad Éireann, she will rigorously and fearlessly hold legislation up to scrutiny to ensure our laws are necessary, effective, clear, and coherent.  

Can we have a conversation about:

Women’s Rights and Child Safeguarding

Government policies aimed at reducing violence against women while simultaneously placing men in women’s prisons and granting them access to our single sex space are incoherent. Why, when women voiced concerns about laws that undermine their safety, dignity, and privacy, did NGOs  such as the National Women’s Council and Amnesty Ireland call for them to be denied legitimate political representation. Sandra has produced an impressive body of work including  public consultations and appeared before the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to highlight the negative impact of gender self-identification on Ireland’s ability to uphold women’s sex based rights. If you support the defence of women’s sex-based rights, single sex sport and robust child safeguarding, vote for Sandra.

Education and the Curriculum
Sandra has advocated for parental choice in education. However, like many parents, she is alarmed by recent curriculum changes driven by activism rather than the fundamentals of education.  She has persistently challenged the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment and the Department of Education dismissal of parents’ concerns. She has written and spoken on the need for fact-based, scientifically accurate education for The Critic , Genspect, and Gript Media. Children deserve an education fostering critical thinking and resilience. Our Constitution acknowledges parents as the primary educators of their children. Sandra will advocate fearlessly to defend that right.

Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of any democracy. It is essential for sharing ideas, refining beliefs, and fostering creativity. Without it, we cannot test what benefits or harms society. Laws designed to protect minorities should not stifle the rights of others or restrict personal, press, or academic freedoms.  If you value a truly inclusive society that values diversity of thought vote for Sandra.
