Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

I am determined to bring positive change to the communities across my constituency, and beyond. I have a positive attitude to most things in life, but feel left down by our government who can and should do so much more for our people, from health, to crime, to education and much more.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one priority is improving healthcare to our people.

Q.

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

Secure funding for 30 extra beds in the Mercy University Hospital and 70 extra beds in the Cork University Hospital, which is feasible and realistic.
