Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?
Because a direct democracy candidate is the only one who can effect real change and I promise to make a week in politics interesting to watch.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
We are so troubled in most constituencies one is hard, but mortgage write downs to kick start the economy.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
Suspend all capital and interest payments on bank bailouts pending a full legal review.
