If you want to know what SF said on Ireland's migration system in last week, here are contributions from myself, Mary Lou McDonald & Joanna Byrne. It’s possible and essential to have an honest & open debate. https://t.co/furtzwIKQm https://t.co/YGfJ2utmYn https://t.co/yeLI0szUrF

Simon Harris is the star of the show when it comes to broken promises. In a Budget of €9.4 billion - no money for a cost of living package, not a cent in a break in income tax for ordinary workers but plenty of money for rich executives, developers, and big landlords. People

We will never see his likes again. A football legend, a community man to his finger tips, an inspiration to younger generations and a great character throughout his life - Nudie (Eugene) Hughes represented the best of County Monaghan. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilís.

People need to feel safe in their homes and in their communities. There has been a growing crisis in Garda recruitment and retention, in fact there are fewer Gardaí now than when Fine Gael came into government. Sinn Féin has set out our plan to address this crucially important

The partition of our country is a historic injustice. We need a government that is committed to undoing this injustice & ensuring our nation reaches its full potential. Instead, Micheál Martin has made it his objective to hinder this aspiration - he will fail.

Miriam O’Callaghan’s claim that Gaeilgeoirí in the North were “weaponising” Irish reveals a deeper RTÉ mindset. It’s the establishment, not Irish speakers, that treats our language as something to fear. Read the full column: [ https://t.co/5CIfWNOky0] #RTE #Gaeilge

This news is to be welcomed. Liam's family deserve huge credit for their continued fight for a full and proper investigation into the death of their father.

Very alamed at reports of an alleged sexual assault of child at Citywest IPAS centre in Dublin. Reports that the child was in care of Tusla & that suspect was subject to unenforced deportation order raise very serious questions. I will be seeking clarification and answers asap.

When he was in opposition Michael Healy Rae joined me in challenging government’s failure to reach their target of 8,000hectares of new forestry each year. Now, as the Minister responsible, he wants me to cheer him for reaching just 3,000 hectares 🤷‍♂️
