Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

I want to bring a new energy, new solutions and a fresh pair of eyes to the problems facing my home county of Cavan and the constituency of Cavan, Monaghan and North Meath.

I would convene a seminar of all community groups and stakeholders active in my constituency to discuss their work and priorities and how I can help them in a hands on way as their new TD.
