Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I'm running because we need a government that is prioritising working people who are paying taxes and expecting quality services in return.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
If I had to pick one, it would probably be health. but also childcare and housing. The healthcare waiting lists are totally unacceptable.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
To see a radical housing policy focused on using public land and investing money into the long-term future of Irish people.
