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

Because I am not FG, Labour or FF.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Get rid of Irish Water, give control of our water back to the local authority, scrap the property tax and the universal social charge.

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

Demand the dismantlement of Irish Water and do a sit-in protest till I get it done! No to the privatisation of our water!
