Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I have a very good track record - I highlighted the issue of housing back in 2009 and I was dismissed as trying to create hysteria. If I had been listened to, we would not have a housing crisis now.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Housing - 70% of the problems I deal with relate to housing. Beyond social housing, I see the problem of people who get jobs and come off the waiting list for council housing, but can’t get mortgages.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I want to tackle the waiting list and trolley crisis and I want to work to stop the neglect of Cork North-Central.
