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

New in politics, honest, open, social justice campaigner, keen to affect change and be part of a solution - a doer rather than a talker. Hope.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To listen to the people, to campaign for a fair and equal share for Dublin Mid-West, to promote and work to improve the area, to attract real employment.

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

I will be calling for the abolishment of Irish Water, abolishment of property tax, and that the Epsen Act (ASD) & Capacity Bill 2004 are brought into law.
