Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
I’m the only TD in Ireland to oppose and vote against all the bondholders blanket bank guarantees. I’m a principled, independent politician.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
The wellbeing of my constituents, i.e adequate, affordable housing and childcare; vastly improved healthcare and development of the North Fringe.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Declare a housing emergency with powers similar to FEMPI; urgently progress plans for new A&E at Beaumont and abolish water charges.
