Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I am a principled left-wing politician, who fights for a better and more equal society for all. This election can help with that change.

To improve the living standards of my constituents in areas such as housing, health, proper jobs, decent wages and the environment.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Commence reversing austerity policies, abolish water charges and property taxes, replacing them with progressive taxation on wealth.
