Golden opportunity was missed by not selecting @BillyKelleherEU for #Aras25 . He has his principles. It's a disaster for @fiannafailparty that #JimGavin will be on the ballot papers. @MichealMartinTD #JackChambers . What is your advice @DeptCEE to the #electorate ?
Fianna Fáil MEP Billy Kelleher has arrived in Leinster House ahead of the vote on the party’s presidential candidate “When decisions are being made, the more people that are consulted, the broader the reach within the better”

Chaos in Fianna Fáil. Gavin’s name will likely still be on the presidential ballot - it’s too late to change that now. Massive questions for Micheal Martin - how long he knew - and director of the election Jack Chambers, who is in the middle of signing off on Tuesday’s budget.

Our #agricultural industry needs to be protected and supported @1PaulLawless has excellent points here. @rtenews @TodaywithClaire @Independent_ie @irishexaminer @IrishTimesBiz @eartotheground @ciaranmullooly @farmersjournal @MichealMartinTD

Disgusting behaviour @TheRyderCup2025 by supporters.
The Ryder Cup crowd was out of control at Bethpage and this will have definitely played a part. It wasn’t even 7am when an official announcer was leading the 1st tee grandstand into a chant of “fuck you Rory” on the mic. Completely unacceptable

If you're wondering why there is a housing crisis in Ireland Have a look at empty homes everywhere Not all are privately owned E.g. Cork city council own this & boarded it up 4 yrs ago Its located in heart of historic Shandon Of course they'll tell you they care #DerelictIreland

@1PaulLawless has highlighted the impact on our #Irishpeople not being able to get housing plus our #Irishstudents being side lined in favour of #Immigrants . Sad state of affairs. @fiannafailparty @FineGael @irishexaminer @echolivecork @SouthernStarIRL
In 2025, 125K people immigrated to Ireland — the 4th year in a row with over 100,000 arrivals. We’re building c. 30,000 homes/year. At this trajectory, the housing crisis will only deepen. We need a mature debate on migration.

Cian McPhillips' 800m time today is not alone a national record, set two days after his last one, but the 48th fastest time ever recorded in history. He's the 16th fastest man, ever, over that distance. @vmsportie #WorldAthleticsChamps

Colin Corkery is among the more naturally brilliant athletes I've seen. Unquestionably among the funniest. Jumping on a tram during a training run Waking up to find a bishop hold his hand. Definitely not a Jim McGuinness type. A genius. Aussie Rules & NFL & Cork. A class act.

Things have changed and not in a good way. Voice your opinion or question but as @SimonHarrisTD called across the House of the Oireachtas #dogwhistler which to me was a new low.

Surely the members of @fiannafailparty should have been given the right to pick their candidate for #presidentialelections2025 . @BillyKelleherEU &@
There is something bizarre that Fianna Fáil TDs etc are being asked to vote for Jim Gavin as the party’s nominee for the presidency, without knowing nothing on what he stands for. They do know what Billy Kelleher stands for, so why not go with him?
