Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

People should vote for me because of my track record in community activism and bringing this activism to the Dáil. I voice the concerns of the general public in this constituency.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority is healthcare and finally implementing Sláintecare. I would demand that parties put this back on the agenda.

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

Re-introduce the Water and Public Ownership Bill to the Dáil, which was first initiated in 2016.
