He is a GAA coaching and games promotion officer for Offaly and is an advocate of reforming the PRSI system.
Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I will not sit on the fence. I will fight tooth and nail to revive rural Ireland.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Job creation and service provision in Offaly/North Tipperary. There is life outside of our big cities.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
I would work to put a plan in place which would deliver jobs and reinstate services in rural constituencies.
