Question Time

Q.

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

I want to see fair play for Wexford by holding the government to account.

Q.

Why should someone vote for you?

I’m an independent voice and I want to continue the work that Mick [Wallace] started.

Q.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

I couldn’t pick just one, because there are so many - housing, health, education. But if I had to choose, I would say mental health. I have seen this first-hand working with adolescent boys.
