'I am the underdog of this campaign here in Laois'
That's according to Independent General Election candidate Jason Lynch, who wants to tackle inflation and the housing crisis in his campaign.
He is a paramedic by trade and wants to see more money invested into special needs places, and in particular more funding for Saint Francis school in Portlaoise.
Mr Lynch says he's open to conversations with any party:
