This is his first time running in an election after he joined the Irish Democratic Party in January 2015. He advocates for an alternative form of political governance in line with the beliefs of his party. He is involved with a number of local activist groups in his area.

As I belong to a participatory party, my supporters will be able to become involved in the process of how their lives are governed.

My number one priority is to introduce accountability and transparency to Limerick as it is sadly lacking in both politically nowadays.

I would like to see people-initiated referendums being introduced back into the Constitution.
