I am a young, enthusiastic and hardworking person, who understands the problems that working people have undergone over the last few years.

Ensuring that every person in the constituency has a fair and decent standard of living and that working people are rewarded for their efforts through a fair tax system.

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