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

Because Ireland needs a Voice of Reason to bring common-sense to bear on legislators in the next Dail.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Ending the democratic deficit, so that Catholics whose values were not represented in the past will be represented in the future.

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

Secure the carer’s allowance, free travel and justice for mothers who choose to care for their children at home.
