She said she spoke to TCD graduates and the general consensus was that they didn’t think it mattered. Ms Chu is a graduate of University College Dublin (UCD) and she said this factored into her decision-making on running as she wanted to make sure people didn’t think she was a “blow-in” to the constituency. The electorate for the University of Dublin Seanad constituency is limited to graduates from Trinity College Dublin (TCD). Ms Chu said: “This is why I took my time to consider whether to run again.” She said she “actively took a step back” after her term as lord mayor and focused on her job as a councillor as she “needed a bit of space”. She said research has shown that “a lot of politicians got a lot of hate especially during the pandemic”. Ms Chu was frequently on the receiving end of online abuse during her time as lord mayor. She said that she would use a Seanad seat to continue tackling issues such as “making the nation and the city into a more sustainable place”, discrimination, gender-based violence, ensuring there is proper inclusion and diversity and fighting climate change. Setting out her stall to voters, Ms Chu said: “I oversaw this city during the worst time of crisis, and I think I can bring that leadership to the Seanad.” Others included Prof Jane Suiter of Dublin City University and Dr Roja Fazaeli, the chairwoman of the Immigrant Council of Ireland. Green Party Minister Roderic O’Gorman was another signatory to Ms Chu’s nomination papers, as was Dublin South-West TD Francis Noel Duffy. “Hazel Chu informed Eamon Ryan of her intention to contest the election and he wishes her well.”
