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

My aim is to implement a fair recovery weighted to the majority whose needs are paramount. I will continue to work tirelessly to this end. #Whoownsthiscountry?

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Health.This is my area of expertise. The trolley crisis and the lack of 24/7 access to mental health supports is appalling and often deadly. #mindingourminds

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

My number one priority is to create and force an agenda to ensure mental health is prioritised. #givestigmatheboot.
