Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
I'm an experienced Independent and I believe that in the next Dáil, Independents will play a significant role in determining government policy, particularly for the regions, and strong, independent support should guarantee that.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
The delivery of all infrastructure, such as broadband, needed to ensure Sligo is developed as the north west growth centre. Among other priorities will be the delivery of a fair CAP, and support for carers and people with disabilities.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
To be part of a government whose policy objectives include delivering a fair share to the regions.
