Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I am a progressive, business-orientated and hard working Independent who will represent the people free from a party whip.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
I intend addressing rural crime, conditions at the University Hospital Limerick and commercial and residential vacancies in rural villages.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I would like to be in a very strong negotiating position to deliver for Limerick.
