Biography

Connor is a secondary school teacher from Wicklow.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I have never been a member of any party before but I got tired of the lack of accountability, lack of scrutiny and lack of ability that currently besets Irish politics. I respect integrity and honesty and believe I can truly be a voice for the voiceless.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Mental health. I want to ensure there is far more support for the people of Wicklow when it comes to mental health. Anxiety, depression and suicide are on the rise and the government [is] failing the people in this respect.

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

Ensure there is accountability when it comes to the finances of our health department and work towards holding those to account to prevent more mismanagement of our health system.
