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

Emigrated, just like most of my constituents, against austerity; management of an economy should be for the majority, fair and equal.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Boost employment and education opportunities for young and old. Local working population should get fair access to local job opportunities.

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

A procurement Bill to kick-start housing and an infrastructure programme to lead us out of the economic crisis, reversing austerity and deprivation.
