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

A vote for me is a guarantee that your issue is my issue. My philosophy for public representation will always be the provision of hard work.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To provide jobs, housing and services to the people of Cork East. To ensure that the economic recovery is felt by all, young and old.

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

Simply put: to work hard for my constituents. To learn, listen and grow into the job, so I can deliver what the public ask and require of me.
