Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I will promote laws that 1) make high quality education accessible to all, 2) support enterprise, and 3) allow fast build of social houses.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
To provide a home for those who can't afford to buy or rent.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Promote a law that will treat the housing crisis with the same urgency as the banking one, with emergency measures to build social houses quickly.
