Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I'm asking people to vote for me on the basis of the work I have done for Co Meath. I am a member of various local boards and campaigns.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority is investing in jobs in Co Meath and for rail lines to be built in the county.

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

I would negotiate a ministerial position, become the Minister for Transport and ease the transport crisis for people in Meath.
