Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I offer a new progressive green voice for Co Kildare that will fight for real climate action for a safe, sustainable world. I want a transport revolution that puts walking, cycling and public transport at the heart of our community.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My main priority is to demand that our county receives the urgent and necessary increase in services and facilities to meet the significant increase in our population.

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

One of my key areas of focus will be transport. Kildare North is Ireland’s largest commuter belt and urgently needs a new approach to public transport... We need to prioritise investment in public transport over road spending by a radio of 2:1.
