Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

A vote for me is a vote for the people of west and north Clare. We are tired of being left out when it comes to jobs, proper infrastructure and respect for our way of life, be it in agriculture or local industry, and I will be the driving force to correct this imbalance.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority is to show that rural Ireland matters and for this to happen, I will dedicate my career to fighting for all members of our communities and doing what is right for them.

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

I would like to change the perception that voters have of politics by showing them tangible results and not empty rhetoric. If I can do something I will and if I cannot, then I will let people know why. There is so much to do and I won't waste my time or the voters' on empty promises.
