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

I am a strong independent voice for Donegal in Dáil Éireann. I want to fight to make Donegal centre stage in government decision making.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To protect the vulnerable, fight against regional inequality and help Donegal overturn decades of neglect by inclusive policy development.

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

Hold two referenda to keep water in public hands and put economic, social and cultural rights in the constitution ending austerity policies.
