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

People are fed up going from crisis to crisis. At the heart of those crises is dishonesty, I’m trustworthy.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Making it the best district for enterprise and residential the capital has to offer where everybody is valued and is a contributor based on respect and dignity.

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

Put the trust back into politicians and politics; a mammoth task that can only be achieved by reconnecting the citizens back into their parliament.
