Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

As a businesswoman, community activist, charity worker and volunteer working for 20 years with the disadvantaged and the elderly, I offer solutions not soundbites, practical measures for delivering a better way for Tipperary on the major issues affecting the constituency.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Better healthcare services for the people of Tipperary.

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

Increase the Fair Deal and Home Care budgets to free up 700 hospital beds occupied due to delayed discharge of elderly patients, and transfer those patients to home care or to the 2,000 currently vacant places in Irish nursing homes.
