Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
My personal background has evidence of courage and integrity. I work to deadlines and deliver my responsibilities and I do not let people down. There is just not enough work done for people who need help.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
I have several priorities. We need more medical staff and relevant management. We need more Special Needs education schools, not just teachers.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I want to survey proposed development sites, state land, calculate exactly what is being developed, what is planned, where social housing combined with affordable housing is being built. I would analyse the cost and try to resolve the major issue of homelessness.
