The time is here!
I'll introduce legislation to ban hare coursing & fox hunting if elected to #Seanad2020. In the last Dáil I'd Bills banning fur farming & wild animals in circuses. We need senators who take grassroots campaigns into parliament. I'm very happy to be supported by @NARACampaigns

I hear some people are saying this is rude! I was referring to the line of FFFG TDs jumping on Catherine for pics beforehand & those of us who got her elected had to fight for a look-in, not that there was a FFFG TD in background of the photo. I wouldn’t be there if it was HH BTW

#CounsellingNotes should be completely banned from GBV trials - Justice Ctee recommending. Well done to survivors and therapists who’ve pushed for this.

It's been 106 days since I have stepped foot in Harvey's room. It was the 1st thing I did when I got home this evening. I hugged his wheelchair and I cried. Yes, we will see #JusticeForHarvey and all of the innocent children failed by the state ✊

Ask your TD to #banfoxhunting on 17 December. We need a free vote not the 3 big parties whipping TDs against their will. Foxes are native species, wild dog. #NotARuralPursuit

My jaw is on the floor seeing billionaire Denis O’Brien platformed & lecturing graduate and public servants. DOB was handed a license to print money by Michael Lowry in what a tribunal called a ‘profoundly corrupt’ transaction.
Businessman Denis O'Brien has claimed there has been a "marked decline" in the efficiency of all parts of the Government due to remote working.

So the heads of the BBC resign over a dodgy edit of Trumps speech. How many of them will resign over its appalling biased coverage of the genocide in Gaza?

Ludicrous amount of religion at this #inauguration. It’s a civic and political role but we’ve had 14 prayers or readings? Different religions faciliated but still should be a civic ceremony.

#PresidentConnolly just gave her inaugural speech. Mentioned how people said campaign would be ‘too left’ but was embraced throughout country. Spoke strongly about stopping war & militarisation. #DublinCastle
