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

More than just promises – I’m the only candidate to have built campaigns against water charges, the property tax, SNA cuts, and health cuts.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To organise campaigns for rent control, mortgage relief and building council houses; for decent jobs and the abolition of water charges.

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

Force the Govt. to abolish the water charges & LPT, remove USC tax from low & middle earners, and implement an emergency millionaire’s tax.
