Question Time

Q.

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

I\'m not going to change... You\'ll still get hard work, delivery on challenges, new ideas, youth & energy & lots of modesty.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To keep going in the right direction, eliminating unemployment & securing services & maybe the DART to Dingle & an All-Ireland or two.

Q.

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

The first 100 day period would be a great chance to reform procedures to modernise the Dáil. I\'d also use that period to go for a pint!
