Biography

Larkin has pledged not to accept a salary if elected, instead donating the money to cancer support groups in Wicklow.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I am the only candidate with the experience and the qualifications from the health service.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Health. Because of the trolley crisis, people are frightened out of their minds to go into A&E.

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

Sort out the health service by fixing the trolley crisis - there are around 1,000 patients who don’t need to be in hospital, but here in Wicklow there is no home help or community healthcare centre for them.
