Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
Because of my record of service to my constituents and delivery in education with 14 new schools, funding for Sallins bypass and primary care.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
As a former housing minister in 1993, delivering good and affordable housing for young families is my number one priority.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Again delivery on housing is important. I want to see the repeal of the Eighth Amendment referendum campaign started.
