I want to bring a new energy, new solutions and a fresh pair of eyes to the problems facing my home county of Cavan and the constituency of Cavan, Monaghan and North Meath.

My priority is to make sure that everybody now benefits from Ireland's economic recovery. A better economy should mean better education, healthcare, jobs, farm incomes and infrastructures.

I would convene a seminar of all community groups and stakeholders active in my constituency to discuss their work and priorities and how I can help them in a hands on way as their new TD.
