Question Time

Q.

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

I'll pursue open politics for the common good, so all of us can share in the recovery. I'd offer fresh honest energy in Dáil Éireann.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Tackling inequality evident all around us like fighting for decent public transport and cutting fuel bills and emissions through insulation.

Q.

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

Make the case to divest public funds from fossil fuel pollution and invest in clean energy. It’s time to support community-owned renewables.
