Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

I am hard working, passionate and energetic about representing people and I am the only candidate that can provide the change people in Dublin West want to see in areas like housing, healthcare, education, disability supports and services, crime and security and public transport reform.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Delivery of enhanced public services like social and affordable housing, properly staffed hospitals and primary and community care settings, improved public transport and other issues.

Q.

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

Help to form a government with my Fianna Fáil colleagues that works in the national interest to turn around Fine Gael’s failures in housing, health and a host of other areas while representing the people of Dublin West with conviction, integrity and honesty.
