Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I'm an Independent who is capable and qualified to do the job well. I find solutions to problems, which is definitely what we need in this country.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority is services for rural areas in hospitals, education, jobs for young people etc. Rural areas have been decimated by forestry and other issues.

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

All of the things I have discussed already - I would get started and work with each separate department on the issues that affect rural life.
