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

I ask for people to vote for me because we need change and I have spent all my life in Dublin Bay North and know the needs of our community.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Increase the number of gardai so that we can tackle crime and drug-related offences and reopen stations which have had hours reduced.

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

To find my feet in the Dáil, establish contacts and spend the next five years providing proper representation in Dublin Bay North.
