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

I will be a TD for all of Mayo, particularly people who have been let down, trodden upon, fleeced and denied the leadership they deserve.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Healthcare. I want people to be able to access diagnostic scans/ treatment/medication no matter where they live or how little money they have.

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

I would try to open and staff all the beds in the hospitals throughout Mayo and at UCHG which were closed under Fianna Fail and Fine Gael.
