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

I offer a unique blend of practical experience in law enforcement & community activism. The system needs change & I will work to bring it.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Employment & access to education. The IDA has to step up to the mark in delivering for Clare since Shannon Dev. was dissolved by this Government.

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

Real reform of bail laws so that dangerous criminals no longer go through the revolving door this Government has let our prison service become.
