Elected as a Donegal county councillor for Labour in 2009, he was re-elected in 2014. Now an Independent, this is his third time running for national office. He has been involved in a number of high-profile legal battles in the past which he has won and is heavily involved with numerous community groups in his local area.

Having represented Donegal at local, national and international level, I know what the people need and how to achieve results for them.

My top priority is to stand up for the people of Donegal, I will hold people accountable and fight corruption.

The 3 most important issues are roads, social housing & heath services. I want to expose the government for their failures on these 3 areas.
