Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
As a father of young children, I know the challenges facing families today. I don’t just highlight problems, I propose practical solutions.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
Get jobs to cross the Shannon! Key areas such as farming, agri-food, tourism & small businesses need to receive proper recognition & support.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Introduce a regular medical NCT for everybody. Identifying health problems earlier will take pressure off hospitals & improve patient care.
