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

I am a fresh new voice determined to revive east Galway. I understand the daily struggles, personal/financial people are faced with as I’m facing them myself.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To improve the quality of life for each community by ensuring that their voices/concerns are heard and acknowledged at central government level.

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

It would be my hope to have official maps sanctioned by OPW to aid the County Council in the development of a credible flood plan for east Galway.
