Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

As a dedicated and highly motivated TD, my involvement in public life is solely about helping and supporting all constituents to access services – their right - culminating in an improved quality of life for all.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To seek the immediate reduction in waiting lists across all strands of society be it housing, health, child services, home support, carers and to tackle the crises in Insurance and farming.

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

I would demand funding for the vulnerable, the sick and the elderly to assist them live in the comfort of their own home with dignity and respect through improved home support packages. The repair of roads and additional bus and transport routes are other immediate concerns.
