Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?
I felt people deserve an alternative option to vote for other than more of the same from the established parties that have consistently failed us. Including, the attempted criminalisation to our freedom of speech, the fact my generation is completely locked out of the housing market and too many towns are lacking in infrastructure.
What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?
The normalisation of Irish adults still living in their childhood bedroom is appalling! 68% of Irish adults in their late twenties are still living with their parents. There is also extreme neglect in infrastructure in so many towns across Ireland, not just Wicklow, but across the country.
What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?
On a National level we need to address housing the Irish and tackle the extreme lack of infrastructure in towns across Wicklow and the country as a whole. On an international level we seriously need to address Israel’s war crimes and cut ties with them completely.
