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

For a fairer, more equal society, where everyone has a future. It is a vote against neo-liberalism and the tyranny it brings to working people.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To reverse rural decline: I will look to bring jobs west of the Shannon. We want a national policy for rural Ireland to regenerate it.

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

Declare a housing emergency. Bring in emergency legislation to stop the banks from putting more families out on the street
