Question time
Why should someone vote for you?
We need to get rid of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil and we need a left government with socialist policies. Solidarity - People Before Profit is the only party saying we won't prop up Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil.
What is your number one priority for your constituency?
If I can only choose one, housing. Building public housing and having rent controls.
What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?
To propose a green new deal with socialist policies.
