Biography

A community activist and voluntary worker, this is her first time running for political office. She is a member of a number of local voluntary groups in her area, including the Loughrea Caring and Sharing Association and Brothers of Charity, Galway. She has a master's degree in public advocacy and activism from NUI Galway.

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

A vote for me is a vote to prioritise citizens over elites, stand up to European bureaucrats, demand a fair deal for the west & invest €2bn in public expenditure.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I would ensure major investment in towns like Tuam, Athenry, Loughrea, Portumna & Gort to once more make east Galway a viable place for people to live and work.

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

There are many! Certainly the refurbishment of Loughrea Town Hall and abolition of water charges & property tax as a start.
