Question Time

Q.

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

A new candidate, a fresh approach to a stale system. To be the first female TD of my generation for Wexford. I will ensure democracy works.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Defend, protect & preserve our communities - retain DSP payments in post offices to ensure their survival. Increase garda presence, save Rosslare Europort.

Q.

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

Call for a review of our abysmal health service and mental health services. Wexford, the neglected county, needs acute mental health services now.
