Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

We [the Green Party] believe that the climate crisis needs strong political leaders to legislate towards a zero carbon economy.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I want to see young people in Carlow and Kilkenny able to stay and find employment here.

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

I would see the Joint Oireachtas Committee report on climate brought forward by all parties with see cross-party action on climate change, regardless of who is in government.
