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

The Workers’ Party offers a socialist alternative to the damaging boom/bust economy, and a record of resisting water charges and austerity.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To solve the housing crisis. Build public housing; introduce rent controls and security of tenure; control the price of land; tax vacancy.

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

Roll back austerity by scrapping the water charges and investing immediately in building public housing.
