Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

Due to my huge parliamentary and government experience, I can really deliver for my constituents from day one. I am a hard-working, competent and professional public representative, empathetic and very responsive.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Sustainable economic and housing development. I also want to focus on better childcare and flexible structures for working parents.

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

New legislation to make it easier to prosecute sea polluters. This is a huge issue for my constituency along the coast.
