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

I believe in grassroots democracy, equality and hope for the future. I will lead struggles and continue to stand with people against austerity.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Housing. With over 1,100 people on the housing list, 20 units available & 121 boarded up, urgent action is needed.

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

Call a housing emergency - implement a substantive programme of social housing construction & utilise NAMA assets to relieve the housing crisis.
