Question Time

Why should someone vote for you?

To ensure people who are most vulnerable in Cork North-Central have a voice in Dáil Éireann.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

The scandal of lack of social housing in my constituency is the number one priority for me, existing boarded up stock should be financed and repaired immediately to reduce the amount of people waiting to be housed.

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

Make sure that the carers of the state get the required assistance from government to allow them enjoy a decent amount of respite and improve their quality of life.
