Biography

An active anti-austerity campaigner, this is her first time running for an election. She is a prominent member of the Repeal the 8th campaign, which advocates for constitutional change in relation to abortions in Ireland.

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

I will focus on inequality in society, which is particularly relevant for young people whose needs are frequently ignored or sacrificed.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Fight against the housing crisis! Cork has seen a 13.5% hike in rents this year. We need a real social housing programme and rent control!

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

Demand a referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment, which is a detriment to women's health and freedom and for the introduction of rent controls!
