Disappointing that RTE did not keep the heat on McDonald re SF stance on special criminal court. She is a master in avoiding answering questions and should have been held to account for her dangerous and damaging party beliefs

A true example of excellent public service. A legacy of job creation, education reform, and climate action. Thank you Richard and I look forward to continuing to work on local issues.
It has been a privilege to serve under four Taoisigh- Garret, John, Enda and Leo. We have helped deliver huge changes in Irish society during that time and there is still so much more for the 33rd Dail to achieve

An animal welfare charity said that hundreds of horses are being illegally kept on council and State-owned land around Dublin. My Lovely Horse Rescue has released a video of stray and tethered horses on public land, which it recorded over 3 days. | Read:

It was a pleasure to have

The

tweets are incredibly heartwarming. Watching the groups of women walking through Dublin airport I can’t help but feel a bit sentimental that it’s exactly 100 years since women got the right to vote & now we get the chance to correct a huge injustice

If I get elected, addressing climate change is an absolute priority 🌍🌍🌍 I educate myself on all aspects, even the most uncomfortable facts, to ensure that I will be the strong unflinching voice that both current & future residents need in the Howth Malahide Ward

The UN IPCC reported that we have 12 years to take radical action to tackle climate change before it is too late. Your organisation’s decision to ignore scientific evidence for the benefit of your bank account is shameful and not something future generations will thank you for.
This evening I was at the launch of this book documenting the interesting archaeological and historical sights on the peninsula. I read some bits of it already and it’s v high quality. Well done to all involved! On sale in a number of local retailers.

Update on Ashton Pound investigation reported in today’s Sunday Times.
I’m working with council on this and keeping a close eye on the investigation. Animal welfare is paramount 🐶
As someone working in disability services I have lots of ideas about what the council needs to do to support those with a disability and ensure that the environment in which they live works for them e.g. autism friendly, safe pavements etc.

Excellent discussion on climate change tonight. A lot of great ideas on how local communities can work together to make a difference to secure a better future.

I believe the voting age should be reduced and that referendums should also be incorporated into such a move. It worked well in the Scottish independence ref. Pity it got shot down today. There is nothing to fear from listening to young people.

Irish workers are unfairly hitting the top rate of tax at €34,500. Reducing the tax burden on workers should be prioritised now that pay increases are taking hold. See my article in today’s
