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

I want people to vote for me to be an Independent voice in Dáil Éireann & in the community on every issue & represent all of the people.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Social housing, speed ramps in housing estates & play parks that have been promised for 5 years yet money has been mismanaged.

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

Set up a system where the people will have a say on every issue before the Dáil & the people decide what way I would vote on upcoming issues.
