Why should voters in your constituency vote for you rather than for other candidates, including candidates representing the political party which you represent?

 I believe that the Green Party is striking a balance between providing for the needs of local communities as well as looking after the future of the Earth.

Were do you stand in relation to these constituency issues?

I want to protect the green belt lands and provide a decent housing mix in the right locations close to public transport.
I want to ensure that the Luas extends as far as Bray and provide both buses and Quality Bus corridors.

Finally I'd like to ensure that we look after childrens' needs, particularly in new developments and provide family-sized housing units, and decent playgrounds, sporting facilities and amenities

How much money do you expend to spend in the election campaign?

€25,000

What will be the sources of this finance?

Contributions from party members, individual donations, and  table quizes
