Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

A vote for me is a vote to end the housing crisis and make housing affordable.To end the two-tier health system and for radical climate action and put a carbon tax on the polluting corporations, not ordinary people.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

A huge campaign to end the housing crisis and for housing for every homeless family. I want social and affordable housing and proper rent controls.

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

Ensuring housing for all is brought in as a human right and ban the further extraction of fossil fuels from Ireland’s waters.
