I want change in our politics and economy. If elected I'll be donating €25k p.a of my wage back to community projects in the constituency

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Flood defences for Cork and preventing the causes of flooding which are climate change and poor planning.

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

So many things! #repealthe8th is very important to me and I want repeal, but if I had to pick one thing I would end Direct Provision.
