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

I will continue to advocate responsible govt spending,lower taxes on work,fundamental reform & a more liberal,inclusive & welcoming Ireland.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Choice in education. If schools are happy to take State funding, they should be happy to take local kids - irrespective of religion.

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

Get the Independent Budget Oversight Office up and running. Not very sexy but that doesn’t mean that it’s not important :)
