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

I have decided to run again to continue the work I did in the previous Dáil, particularly around public housing, addressing health inequalities and drug reform.

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

Housing. This issue affects virtually everybody, whether you're seeking public/affordable housing. High rents are driving young people to emigrate and are leaving a generation not being able to leave their family home.

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

Legislating for the Occupied Territories Bill.
