Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

If you believe the country is heading in the wrong direction and you believe in charting a different course for Irish history together as one nation, put a number one beside my name on the ballot paper. I promise to be the strongest voice for the Irish people.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

In the locality I believe strongly in dealing with the issue of youths on scrambler bikes through the utilisation of the old dump in Dunsink as an area for those interested in motorsports to use, to keep them off residential roads.

Q.

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

I intend on implementing significantly stricter sentencing on sex offenders and violent criminals. I will bring forward legislation to ensure Irish people are given priority in accessing public services such as health, education, housing
