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

I care about our country and our communities. Vote for me because I'm passionate about driving change and improving every community.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Fairness is top priority, achievable by balanced regional development, equal job opportunity and recognising people's ability to pay.

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

Political reform so government is answerable to Dáil Éireann and by extension the people of Ireland, thus ending unaccountable government.
