Biography
Swords is a qualified special needs assistant and works with children and adolescents with mental health issues.
Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I’m a hardworking individual - I’m from a working class family so I know the struggles that people go through. I have a voice that I think needs more representation in government but that a lot of people don’t have.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Mental health is first, but housing is a very close second. I think the two are part and parcel together - if people don’t have a home they don’t have a life.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I want to see a major increase in mental health services for children and young people, in Kildare and nationally. There’s nothing there at the moment.
