First elected in 2007, he has been a sitting TD since. He comes from a farming background and is a former chairperson of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Science. He is the current Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.

So I can continue to represent the people and communities of this constituency, to ensure their concerns are heard in Dáil Éireann.

Immediately take down barriers to accessing early intervention services, and raise awareness of the huge costs of self-building houses in rural areas.
