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

During my time as a TD, I have given it my all and I would like to continue that work with the support of the people of Cork South-Central.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Locally, projects such as the Cork flood relief scheme, the N28 road, the Events Centre and a viable future for Cork Airport are vital.

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

I would hope to be able to make a meaningful difference for the people on the issues that really matter to them in their daily lives.
