Question Time

Q.

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

I have seen firsthand the day to day struggle of the working poor in trying to make ends meet on a weekly basis due to unfair taxes and various charges.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My main priority is to make sure the county has the best frontline services, ie mental health services, education and crime reduction.

Q.

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

I would like to get a workable and efficient mental health service for the county and to work towards doing away with the amalgamation of Wexford/Waterford set up.
