Born and bred in Dublin, I have worked hard to pay my way through school and college. I am a proud Dubliner and Irishman who believes that Ireland is the best country to live in.
However, the mismanagement I have witnessed in the last number of years has prompted me to enter politics to address this situation. Like my grandfather and his brother, who fought in the 1916 Rising, I will fight to protect our values and way of life that is currently under threat from foreign organizations (EU, UN, WHO) and domestic political parties. I have served my community as businessman and postmaster for 30 years and will bring my knowledge, experience and work ethic to my position as your elected representative

FAMILY
Married with three Children
Supporting Irish Families: The family unit is not an optional extra if we wish to have a healthy
functioning society. The family unit has been under attack and undermined for the last 30 years. We will put the family at the heart of all policy decisions and reverse the damage done by the neglect of past governments.
Housing: Affordable housing is absolutely essential to the creation of prosperous, stable families. Housing is not an investment asset it is a necessity and we will treat it as such. Our housing crisis is a national emergency and we will deploy supply side remedies and sweep away unnecessary bureaucracy and barriers to building affordable homes.
Healthcare: The healthcare system in Ireland is collapsing. It is failing the very people it was set up to serve and who own it and finance it. Complete reform from top to bottom with a radical change of management is necessary to deliver modern, timely healthcare. We will take on the vested interests that block reform and benefit most from the broken system.
Immigration: Three principles need to be applied to our immigration policy.
Proportionality: The number of migrants must be controlled.
Benefit: The immigrants must be of benefit to the host nation.
Integration: Immigrants must integrate with the native population. Immigration without integration is a recipe for disaster.
Education: The current SPHE program must be abolished in all schools, except where a majority of parents request it.
Freedom of speech: Freedom of speech must be protected and properly enshrined in our Constitution.
Defund the NGOs: Defund NGOs that have no clear and beneficial role in Irish society. Use the savings to abolish the USC tax.
