Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I am a voice for Limerick - I’m self employed all my life, on the ground, so I know the cost of living in Limerick and I understand the lack of government investment in the area.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Housing - there is huge lack of housing in Limerick, but a massive amount of derelict houses. I want to reuse the stock we already have.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Get vulnerable families that have been neglected by the state into a safe environment.
