Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

A vote for me is a vote for a strong, feminist voice determined to work for all residents in our community to build a fairer, greener city.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Housing is absolutely the number one for both the constituency and the country. We have a growing population and need to build quality housing to support that population, along with good public transport links and quality community facilities.

Q.

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

In a parliamentary democracy, you can’t achieve much in 100 days.. That being said, my priorities in the early days would be to begin work on a tourism tax to raise much needed revenue for local authorities.
