Biography

She was first elected to the Dáil in 2007 having previously served as a Dublin city councillor. She was the Minister of State for European Affairs from 2011 to 2013 when she quit Fine Gael over the abortion issue. She has since founded and now leads Renua.

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

I hope people will vote for me because I lead a party that genuinely wants to secure radical change that transforms how we run our country.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My top priority is to secure a real transformation in the lives of those who work via tax cuts, homes, childcare and a war on crime.

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

I would open up the heart of government with a radical reform and abolition of the rules on cabinet confidentiality and the culture of secrecy.
