Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
A leading campaigner in Cork against the water charges, I feel we need more TDs who will back people power campaigns to challenge inequality.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
My local concerns are national concerns - end the scandal of rising rents and massively bloated waiting lists.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Bring some of the anger and the aspirations of working class people into that stuffy chamber.
