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

I'm an issue formed politician. My interest in politics was attained through the environment in which I grew up and a desire to contribute.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

For me, the #1 priority in my constituency is educational inequality. We have one of the lowest 3rd level progression rates in the country.

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

I would like to convene a meeting of all educational bodies in my constituency (from pre-school to post leaving cert).
