If you want a strong, independent voice as President of Ireland, come out and vote for Catherine Connolly. Tomorrow, your vote can make a difference. Let’s seize this moment together 🇼đŸ‡Ș #aras25 #connollyforpresident

Five years ago this week, the Government, including Presidential candidate Heather Humphreys, voted to seal Mother and Baby Home records for 30 years. Last week, she said: “It doesn’t matter at this stage”. It does matter! The pain is still being felt. Justice must be delivered

Sinn FĂ©in will fight tooth & nail to protect Irish neutrality! As the EU Council meets, its agenda is clear: militarisation above all else. Standing up for Irish neutrality is not anti-European. It’s about protecting Irish interests. We won’t let FF/FG sell off our neutrality!

Survivors of abuse at Ireland’s industrial & reformatory schools are in week 4 of a hunger strike outside the Dáil. They have 2 primary demands; a HAA card & a contributory pension. The Irish government and the EU must deliver long overdue justice and equality for survivors.

I welcome news that Jennie’s Law is to be brought before Cabinet ⚖ I want to commend Jennie Poole’s family for turning their grief into action, that will undoubtedly save lives. Let’s make sure the register covers all types of abuse, not only physical violence! #jennieslaw

We don’t need a President for the Government — we need a President for the people. Heather Humphreys would be a backroom President for FF & FG. Catherine Connolly would represent Ireland with pride, courage & integrity. 🇼đŸ‡Ș #Aras24 #ConnollyForPresident

Humphreys' comments on Mother and Baby Homes 'disrespectful and disingenuous' - @Kathleensf1 “To promise to be a voice for those families if she becomes president is disingenuous, given her track record as both a TD and Minister.” https://t.co/76UpRFBCS6

Fine Gael increased homelessness to 16,000, including 5,000 children, and lifted the ban on no-fault evictions. This party of “law & order” is now adopting Ivan Yates’ advice with a US-style attack ad to smear housing rights campaigner Connolly for doing her job as a barrister

Fine Gael must think people are stupid as they scrape the bottom of the barrel with their smears against Catherine Connolly. It’s Fine Gael who refused to build public housing as they rolled out the red carpet for vulture funds. It’s Fine Gael who pushed home ownership out of

Fantastic few days in Paris for the @EUROCADRES Congress! As the @Left_EU lead negotiator on the EU pay & pension gap report, I’m pushing for pay transparency in every job ad, which is key to closing the gender pay gap. ✊ More: https://t.co/yru5dx6zCR

The EU Commission’s first proposal for a new seven-year budget is deeply flawed and regressive. This proposal should be scrapped, and I am calling on all Irish MEPs to protect Ireland’s interests by rejecting it. More: https://t.co/OFMt6U0BEn

We’re facing an epidemic of violence against women and girls. Domestic abuse reports are up 162% in 8 years, yet services remain underfunded. The Irish Government must act now to fund frontline services. #enddomesticviolence #Ireland
