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

I bring integrity, determination and tenacity to politics in Wicklow/East Carlow and I'm motivated by the need for change.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Number one priority is to ensure that the public finances are spent where needed in areas such as the housing and health crises, education and jobs.

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

In the first 100 days of government, I would take a substantial pay cut and abolish the water charges.
