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

Hard working, nationally and locally, and I feel that I am honest, effective and experienced. To sum it up, more substance than style.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Quality employment opportunities for people in county Kildare.

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

From experience most worthwhile initiatives take more then 100 days to achieve but poverty-proofing legislation is my priority.
