Question Time

Why should someone vote for you?

I have been a boots on the ground, hard-working elected public representative for Cork South-Central for the past six years. I am open, honest and transparent and I strive for the right results for my constituents.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

My number one would be to ensure my constituency gets its fair share of the spoils and investment in infrastructure, jobs, green ways, public transport and public parks.

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

Set up with a group of like-minded Independents to help bring forward solutions to the housing, homeless, health issues and support a government who will advance the solutions to not just alleviate but eradicate these ongoing issues.
