Biography

The owner of Checkpoint Press, this is his first time running for general election. He is one of the founders and administrator of the Integrity Ireland Association, which advocates for political reform and aims to support citizens through the courts.

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

I will courageously tackle the corruption, cronyism and criminal cover-ups that lie at the heart of ALL of Ireland’s woes and ills.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To alert people to the fact that our political parties are in the pockets of vested interests and corporations. They cannot be trusted.

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

Reinstate the power of direct referendum to the people; establish an effective judicial council, and public oversight of the DPP’s Office.
