Question Time

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

We need a political revolution - electing genuine left TDs to build a movement to end austerity and the rule of the 1% is a vital part of that.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To build a movement on the housing crisis like on the water charges - to force social and affordable home building to resolve the crisis.

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

Achieve the abolition of water charges and Irish Water - as a result of the successful campaign of non-payment and protest.
