Biography

A Kildare county councillor, she was elected first in 2014. She is a member of a number of committees on the council, including the Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee and the Local Rural Water Monitoring Committee.

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

People should vote for me because I'll stand up for them, challenging the vested interests that make the rules that have failed the working people of Kildare.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To deliver a fair recovery and reverse impact of cuts. We've been quietly ignored in Kildare North despite having three government TDs.

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

I want to be part of a government that abolishes property tax and water charges, putting money back into pockets of people in Kildare North.
