GE16 is about our future- I've a huge stake in that future and will work tirelessly to make sure the recovery is felt by everyone.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Long term sustainable jobs so that everyone who wants to live and work in Cork can do so, along with investment in our airport and motorways.

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