Question Time

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

I have shown in my first term in Dáil that I have delivered both nationally as a Minister of State and for my constituency as a hardworking TD for the people of Longford-Westmeath.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To ensure the constituency continues to get its fair share of central funding, to create the right conditions for job creation and to oversee the continued success of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.

Q.

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

If privileged to be re-elected, I am willing to serve in government if called upon and to do my very best in the national interest as I did in the 32nd Dáil.
