Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I will be a national legislator with a focus on education, youth issues, disability, mental health, investment in skilled employment and tackling the housing crisis.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Investment in education and youth services. Wexford's disadvantage stems from our underachievement in education. We need to raise the county's participation and outcome rates.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Introduce a green paper/discussion document on improving mental health services in Ireland.
