Biography

A senator since 2011, he previously ran unsuccessfully for both local and national office as a member of both Labour and Sinn Féin. He is the Sinn Féin spokesperson for the Irish language and Gaeltacht affairs, rural development and the west and has worked in theatre and television production.

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

In my four years as a senator I have proven I will represent all the people of Galway West - South Mayo in a more forthright manner.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To implement Sinn Féin’s housing strategy in the west and really tackle the massive housing crisis we have at present in all types of accommodation.

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

See the plan in place to scrap the property tax and water charges. This would really take the pressure off lower & middle income families.
