Question time
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

TDs pay is completely excessive. All TDs regardless of position should not earn more than €80,000 per year.

Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?

I want to highlight the social injustices in Ireland. By using our Dáil positions we can give a rallying call for a new political revolution.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Housing is the number one priority in the constituency I represent. The lack of social housing has caused the crisis of homelessness.
