Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I intend to make positive changes for a better environment and a fairer society. The current three TDs in this constituency were all on the other side in the Repeal referendum, meaning there was no representation for the majority of voters. It is the same on many other crucial issues.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Much better public transport for all, including an affordable, reliable bus system and proper cycling infrastructure.

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

Tackle the total lack of provision for housing, declare it an emergency and invest massively in local authority building of homes.
