Policies

• If elected I will take in salary only the cost of a locum replacing me in my pharmacy (€55,000) and direct the remainder towards local addiction services

• Support the credit unions so that they can lend to the SME sector
• We must start from the top and force through job cuts in multiple layers of the civil services
