Biography

Tóibín is a pharmacist and the sister of Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

To send a clear message to FF/FG that we will not tolerate the reorganising of deck chairs on a sinking ship. The people of this constituency deserve a functioning democracy and demand basic services like adequate housing and a health care service to match the needs of the community.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

As a coastal constituency with huge tourism potential, I would like to see improved cycleways, designated cycle paths on all roads and great investment in Dart and Luas to ameliorate the congestion at peak times.

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

To increase the number of places for childcare. Collate all current providers with a view to assisting the creation of more places, certainly look at the obstacles or limits that current providers have to deal with.
