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

I was 24 years on the Urban District Council and that was 24 years working for people not parties.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To do the same again and work for the people, the citizen, rather than make a whole lot of false promises and not keep them.

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

If I was elected I'd be able to speak the truth on behalf of the ordinary people of Wicklow and rattle that county council into action.
