Biography

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

I represent a new alternative to the usual ‘old men’s club’ style of politics which has hampered political progress in this country for decades.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Housing. Every week I help people who can’t find a home because of failed government policies. Building creates jobs.

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

In government. Sinn Fein will abolish the water charges and property tax as well as begin a serious programme of building homes.
