Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I have a total commitment to the people of Kerry, having represented them for 17 years. I experience and understand the problems on the ground - people in rural Ireland feel let down by a government who have no understanding of them.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
I will insist the health service is improved for sick people in rural areas who are not getting any respite. I also want to see improvement in the home help services.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I will continue working for all sections of the community in Kerry with my brother Michael. We hold clinics week in, week out, and I never turn my phone off in case someone in the community wishes to contact me.
