Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?

I have run soup runs, built supported housing for young people at risk of homelessness, supported youth work, childcare and families battling with banks for trying to foreclose on their mortgages or trying to take away their tracker mortgages. I see politics as a way to do all of those things from the Dail Chamber at a more influential level.

What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?

Housing is the biggest issue, but so also is services for people with disabilities.

What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?

Child poverty and setting out the ways the Government should ensure that no child in Ireland grows up in poverty.
