                    Question time
                                                                        Why did you decide to run in this election?
                                                                
                            I ran in the local elections in June and it's clear that an alternative to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil rule still needs to be put forward to bring about the change we need.

                            The housing crisis - as it's a foundational problem that underpins so many other issues we're facing right now.
