Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?

I won’t just talk of vague aspirations. I will put forward clear policies and vision in key areas that go well beyond the short-term fix.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

That in my constituency and every constituency we get our priorities right: Health, housing, education and crime. Local issues are national issues.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

To relentlessly pressure government to take health seriously, by whatever means, so that we can begin for the first time to get it right.
