Question time
Why did you decide to run in this election?
My decision to contest this election is my experience and knowledge at local government level for over 20 years. I secured the highest vote in the county in the local elections last June. Therefore, I believe I can represent this constituency at a national level with the experience I have gained over the years.
What do you think is the greatest issue the country faces right now?
This country is facing issues like health services, housing, infrastructure and agriculture. There are a lot of issues around immigration too.
What would you like your first speaking time in the Dáil to be about if you get elected?
I will seek support from families who have children with disabilities. This is something that comes up regularly during canvassing.
