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

I decided to run because I want to bring my vast experience as a county councillor and as a person with high level business and international experience to national politics.

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

The greatest issue is to focus on long term planning investment in our future and plan now and implement how we want Ireland to be in the decades ahead.

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

The same as the answer to question 2.
