Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
A strong, independent, fearless voice whose focus is on the national & international, who puts people before party and before narrow, selfish interests.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
My country's interests are my constituency's interests; the most unjust bank-debt burden (€15,000/person) weighs heavy, must be tackled.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Assemble all-party group, go to EU/ECB, fight to have remaining €25.5bn Promissory Note bonds destroyed, restore €5.5bn already destroyed.
