Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

No issue, concern or query is too big or too small. They are all important and I am readily available to advise, assist and support.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Enhanced primary care and rural GP services to meet the current demand. A hospital bed for anyone who needs it and then step-down services and home care packages available to those who require these services when discharged from hospital

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

Move to establish a taskforce and/or introduce legislation that will ensure more balanced regional development and job creation in our communities to allow more professional young parents, who might ordinarily commute to Dublin or Cork, to work relatively locally and boost local economies
