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

I will do my best to represent the people of Wexford. I will champion their economic needs, social values and work for the common good.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

The housing and homelessness crisis. It is a huge issue and an indictment of this government. We need a massive social housing build programme.

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

I will focus on tackling regressive taxes which are undermining living standards, low-paid workers, struggling families and pensioners.
