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

I’m for Clare not party financiers looking for profit. I’ve years of independent experience representing the community and voluntary sector.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority for Clare is to address the VOIDS left by successive Dublin biased governments. Health, Infrastructure, Broadband.

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

A Communication System. Then I can be steered by my constituency on all legislative matters. It's not about my opinion it's about the people of Clare.
