I wasn’t expecting any sensible ideas from Michael but perpetuating the idea that it’s up to women to fight back to be safe is exactly why this will happen again and again and again. The women of Kerry deserve better.

In light of the tragic murder of Aisling Murphy and the ever-increasing assaults of women in Irish society,I am calling on the Government to open a real debate in legalising the use of Mace so women in particular would be able to defend themselves against unprovoked assaults.

Great to see the vision the @SaveTolkaPark has for their stadium. In the last few months I’ve been learning about the lack of playing pitches on the north side of Dublin and there’s increasing numbers of girls playing different sports from a young age. I’m backing #SaveTolkaPark

While we are seeing a lot of younger people leave the Green Party, many others will leave without announcing it. I was 27 when I first joined a political party, I’m inspired by the young people who sign up and put the hard work in. Every party and movement needs young voices..1/2

There should be better solutions by now for our schools. Students and staff should feel safe, including those with health conditions that make them vulnerable to Covid. Communication from Norma has also been woeful but @GaryGannonTD hits the nail on the head as always. 👇🏼

I’m furious that two years into a global pandemic, our ineffective government/ minister have rendered yet again the debate around the safety of our school community has one solely focused on whether buildings should be opened or closed. /1

The HSE said it appeared likely that some people in Group 7 may have been categorised incorrectly in the computer system as being in Group 4 when they got their first dose.

I canvassed with Majo last year. She carried a stack of voter reg forms in her bag, explained the process clearly to any not registered & brought such warm enthusiasm to every door. Can’t wait to see Majo on the ballot sometime! Immigrants get the job done! #SocFemmes #MoreMn á

The only businesses to contact me arguing against a more accessible city are carparks. Imagine how enjoyable the city centre would be with more space to walk and hang out, cleaner air and more on-street activities and traders to engage with? Great thread from @1GaryGannon 👇🏻

This is nonsense from lobby group fighting a losing battle. Trade in the city centre is at risk from online retail and the fact that motorway shopping centres are just more convenient to those who want to drive to shop. If we are to preserve the 1/?

Thrilled to get my motion passed at the February Council and to hear management are already looking at warmer tones in LED public lighting. Bright blue light can trigger migraine and with 1 in 5 women and 1 in 15 men suffering migraine in Ireland it's time for LED Guidelines.
