Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

Because I’m an ordinary person and we’ve suffered the consequences of austerity for too long now. It’s time for a change.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I want to say it's a tie between health and housing, but if I had to choose I’d say health. There’s no A and E department here in Clare and travelling to Limerick can take up to an hour and a quarter, which is just too long.

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

I want to restore maternity services to Clare.
