Farrell runs a nursing home in Roscrea with her husband. She has been a volunteer and community activist for 20 years. She has a Masters in politics and is a former Mayor of Nenagh. She is a member of the North Tipperary Hospice Movement.

As a businesswoman, community activist, charity worker and volunteer working for 20 years with the disadvantaged and the elderly, I offer solutions not soundbites, practical measures for delivering a better way for Tipperary on the major issues affecting the constituency.

Better healthcare services for the people of Tipperary.

Increase the Fair Deal and Home Care budgets to free up 700 hospital beds occupied due to delayed discharge of elderly patients, and transfer those patients to home care or to the 2,000 currently vacant places in Irish nursing homes.
