Biography

Daly-Finn is an auxiliary nurse at Sligo University Hospital. She is originally from Arigna, Co Roscommon, where her father and brother worked as miners.

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

I am from Roscommon and for too long we have had no representation in government in Roscommon Galway. I want to be a voice for the people in Dail Eireann and campaign for real change and investment in all areas in Roscommon Galway.

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

Housing continues to be the main focus in Ireland right now across the country. We are seeing shortages of houses for sale and to rent in our towns and it is stopping real growth in our major towns across the county. Access to disability services is a major concern to people across the country.

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

I would raise my concerns about rural crime and the levels of policing in the area. I would use the speaking time to raise the concerns that local people have and to drive for more investment in Garda numbers and in rural areas.
