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.

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.

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.

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