Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
A vote for me is a vote to see increased investment in the early years sector and extending paid parental leave. It is a vote to implement Sláintecare, a vote to build a programme of public housing and for a referendum on the right to housing.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Ensure that the promised site of conscience to survivors and victims of institutional abuse is completed, re-open Fitzgibbon Street Garda Station and develop a national anti-poverty strategy.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
The problems we face in Dublin Central will not be fixed in 100 days, but I promise that if elected, I will ensure that the people of Dublin Central, and our long-term vision for our great city, will be my priority for the entire term.
