Question Time

Q.

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

We need real change, not FG & Labour spare change. I organised 10,000-strong water march & boycott, now let’s fight for housing, health & wages.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Demanding a real recovery. The rich are robbing the recovery, while we just get by. Let’s scrap water charges & invest in housing & health.

Q.

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

Have a referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment abortion ban. The YES vote in May 2015 shows the desire for a progressive, secular society.
