Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?

The solution lies in Empowerment of the People (Democracy), not 'left' or 'right', not any political party, ranks or other vested interest.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Organise with constituents to assert our common interest, to a life without fear and uncertainty in which our families can grow and prosper.

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

I will put in place systematic consultation and will act on mandate from the people, this will set new standards of representation for all.
