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

A vote for me is a vote for positive change for you, your county and your country. I want a better, fairer and safer Ireland for all of us.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To bring about positive change in the lives of all through effective representation & therefore your issues will govern my agenda.

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

Close the Dáil bar and restaurants. TDs are elected to do a very serious job & drinking during work is unacceptable. A canteen is adequate.
