Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I have represented farmers at national and European level for many years and am a tough negotiator. I want to use that experience for the benefit of the people of Tipperary.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Jobs is the main priority for me and this will help solve a lot of our problems. Town centres, villages, etc.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Split mortgages. This has to happen to prevent evictions and endless hardship for already seriously distressed families.
