A pleasure to campaign with Catherine Connolly in Monaghan today. This Friday, I am asking you to seize the opportunity to elect Catherine Connolly as Uachtarán na hÉireann. There has never been a more important time to elect a strong, independent voice as President of Ireland.

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.

In her time in the Dáil Heather Humphreys failed to speak up for people. She was so silent she didn’t even utter the words Housing Crisis in her entire time in government. What she did do was vote against motions to stop vulture funds buying mortgages without consent, against
Asked by @thejournal_ie if she declared her status as a credit union manager and defaults on mortgage cases when speaking in the Dail about repossessions or the tracker mortgage scandal, HH said: ‘I never stood up in the Dail and spoke about any of those things, I can assure you’

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

The logic of what FG are saying about Catherine Connolly’s work as a Barrister is that the current Minister for Justice should be accountable for the actions of clients he worked for as a barrister. @OCallaghanJim must explain if he agrees with this desperate line of attack.

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

🔥 Do your job, Tánaiste! 1 million households are hit with big electricity bill hikes and the government does nothing. Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil have always been for the developers and big landlords. Now, they are a government for price gouging energy companies. We will never

Heather Humphreys never once spoke up in her 13 years in the Dáil - not on the housing crisis, not for people struggling due to FG’s decisions in Govt. Does she really expect people to believe that will change now? She will always be a spokesperson for the Govt not for the people

Heather Humphreys said ‘Sacrifices had to be made’ when asked about cruel cuts FG introduced in austerity. CUT 👉 respite grant 👉 disability services 👉 child benefit Out of touch. Same in the budget. Workers worse off as developers profit. People will remember next week.
People will judge Heather Humphreys on her record in next week’s Presidential election – @loreillysf “Those at the top have been prioritised ever since Fine Gael entered government in 2011 when they introduced some of the cruellest cuts ever seen.” https://t.co/WP7phqIUtf

FG, FF & their independent TD lackeys made a calculated decision to screw workers & families in the belief that people will forget by next General Election. It is a cruel, cynical approach by an out-of-touch government that refuses to understand the pressures on households.
