Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

A vote for me will help me to do more in the areas of mental health, drug harm reduction and accessibility to education.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Having lost both my brother and father to suicide, my number one priority is a holistic approach to mental health and support services.

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

In my first 100 days I will discuss and take action on mental health and suicide support services with reference to the Connecting for Life report 2015-2020.
