Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

We need to break the cycle of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. I am a new voice from outside the same tired parties and have a proven track record for fighting for the people in Carlow and Kilkenny.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To end homelessness and make housing affordable for my generation. I have also been campaigning for a women’s refuge in Carlow and for adequate resources to support women and children fleeing domestic violence,

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

I would legislate to ban any further extraction of fossil fuels in Ireland and impose a carbon tax on the major polluters, the corporations, to fund a mass-scale shift to renewable energy.
