Despite migration being a non-issue on his doorstep, hes focusing on integration and inclusion. The north inner city, one of Irelands most diverse areas, is his focus. Ennis is advocating for more state funding for community integration programs. Hes not worried about Sinn Féins push in Mary Lou McDonalds home turf, even with their recent setbacks.
