Question Time

Q.

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

I have 11 years of experience in local government. The next challenge is securing the future and I know I can voice the electorate well.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I look forward to delivering a housing policy which supports both private and social housing, giving comfort to families, rather than being a source of stress.

Q.

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

Addressing the housing shortage and supporting our local businesses to generate new jobs - both of these are top of my agenda.
