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

I care deeply about fighting for and improving the lives of fellow constituents. I am a proven changemaker and an experienced national voice who knows how to get things done. If elected, I want to deliver real change benefitting all citizens.

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

The lack of affordable and social housing, coupled with exorbitant rents is literally crushing the hopes and dreams of so many to ever have a home of their own. The housing crisis also strangles economic expansion.

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

I’d like it to be a speech on a transformative Programme for Government with Labour at its heart, and on plans to establish a State Construction Company so we can provide everyone in this rich country with the security of their own home.
