In the run up to the general election we’ve some burning questions we want answers to, and we’ve asked some of our elected representatives to give us those answers.
Here at JOE Towers there are a number of issues that have been bothering us, so we decided to contact the political parties and find out what they have to say.
We’ve created a virtual panel of TDs picked from across the country and across the political spectrum, and each week we’ll be putting one question to all of them and printing their unedited responses.
Our panel consists of the following Deputies:
For Fianna Fáil: Dara Calleary, TD for Mayo
For Fine Gael: Damien English, TD for Meath West
For Labour: Ciarán Lynch, TD for Cork South Central
For Sinn Féin: Pearse Doherty, TD for Donegal South
Final question:
“Given that the political system as it stands appears to have failed us, do we now need a radical change in the way politics in Ireland is done? And if you return to the 31st Dáil can you give us five things that you’ll urgently be pushing for?“
