Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I will be the strongest candidate in the area - I believe that the next government will be dependent on Independents. From my extensive experience, I know exactly how the system works. I have seen first-hand the decimation of rural towns and villages.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
The survival of small communities. The east-west divide is getting wider - we need jobs in communities and we need to implement the minimum living wage in these communities to encourage people to return to the places they grew up.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I will be working in the interest of my constituents.
