I am determined to bring positive change to the communities across my constituency, and beyond. I have a positive attitude to most things in life, but feel left down by our government who can and should do so much more for our people, from health, to crime, to education and much more.

My number one priority is improving healthcare to our people.

Secure funding for 30 extra beds in the Mercy University Hospital and 70 extra beds in the Cork University Hospital, which is feasible and realistic.
