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

To put Ireland on a sustainable path and create a positive future for young people. To try and give an alternative to short-termism and clientelism that is rife in Irish politics.

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

Unclear future for the next generation, lack of housing, unsustainable economy, and the climate and biodiversity crisis – they all contribute to hopelessness. We need to take some difficult decisions and build an economy, health and social system for the next century.

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

The future of Ireland and the need to work towards a thriving Republic for the next 100 years.
