My Prioraties:

- To contribute as much as possible to ensuring Cork is a clean litter free City, with better employment opportunities, having good amenities and a safe environment for the enjoyment of all its citizens
- To strive with the co operation of all the stakeholders to rid our city and indeed the whole country from the scourge of illegal drugs.
- To work hard to eliminate poverty and to try as far as possible to get rid of homelessness. I would love to contribute to helping the less well off to achieve their potential by affirming them and there by instilling confidence in them to achieve their goals.
- The preservation of our green open spaces, Sports facilities and our built heritage is a priority.
- Proper Planning and sustainable development into the future is vital for the area I represent and for Cork City.
