Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

I believe there is a need to deliver a change of government. Having served as a city councillor and Lord Mayor, I know the issues which need to be addressed by a new government, particularly in health and housing. I am anxious to be part of that change.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Ensuring that we provide housing option for all our people and that this is delivered in a well-planned way, so that it strengthens our community.

Q.

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

To implement the recommendations of the Lord Mayor\'s working group on illegally-driven scrambler bikes and to honour the promise I made to Fridays for Future students on climate action.
