Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?
The country needs real opposition. Every day, I see the impact of reckless decisions on our communities - whether it’s the housing crisis, rising cost of living, or the erosion of our national identity through reckless open borders. I want my children to grow up in a safe, prosperous Ireland where Irish families come first. That’s why I’m stepping up: to fight for policies that protect our borders, prioritise housing and jobs for Irish citizens, and restore accountability in government. It’s time for real leadership that puts the people of Ireland first.
What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?
The greatest issue facing Ireland right now is the breakdown of our immigration system. Reckless immigration policies are overwhelming our public services, putting strain on housing, healthcare, and law enforcement, and jeopardising the safety and security of our communities.
What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?
I would call for restoring the people's right to initiate referendums, which was removed without public approval. This would empower citizens to challenge government actions directly, addressing issues like open-border policies, bank bailouts, housing hoarding, and attacks on free speech.
