Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I'm young but experienced and represent progressive, changing Ireland. I will give voice to thousands like me who face high rent, the threat of climate breakdown and uncertain futures. I want to be a champion of people power and a politics for the many, not the few.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I will fight to restore and expand funding to vital community services, for more public housing and for our public investment in decent, green jobs like retrofitting schemes.

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 roll out nationwide free, green and frequent public transport, like other European countries have started to do - to get people out of cars, end nightmare commutes and tackle noxious air pollution.
