Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I will be the most proactive, reactive TD for the whole of Donegal... If you think the Healy-Raes do a lot for the people of Kerry, wait until you see what I can do for Donegal.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

A Mica redress system. I wouldn't consider lending my support for any government until this is in place. This is the short-term priority, more long-term is infrastructure, jobs and hospitals.

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

I would like to secure a position in government to promote the interests of the people in Donegal.
