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

Ireland has become a more progressive tolerant society in my lifetime. I want that tolerance and progressiveness to continue. As Amelia Earhart said ‘The most effective way to do it is to do it’.

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

The most immediate problem is in accommodation affordability and supply. In tandem with this is action on reducing our reliance on fossil fuels in transport and energy.

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

The importance of fairness and being a just society for all of the people on this island.
