Remembering 👮♂️Garda Alan Leblique whose funeral service will happen in Dublin today.
Alan was the subject of intense, intolerable and sustained online harassment after a confrontation with a conspiracy theorist last year.
More needs to be done to protect people from this abuse

Honoured to have been elected Mayor of Galway yesterday!
Looking forward to making an impact on these priority areas over the next yr;
✅ 🏠
✅ 🚘 🚊 🚎
✅ Infrastructure
✅ Business + Community
✅ Tourism
Thanks
@FineGael
colleagues, family &friends for your enduring support
Consistent with my views on this since the start, I will be supporting the motion to provide a two-way cycleway on the prom in
#Salthill
I believe this piece of infrastructure will transform
#Salthill
for the better & it will undoubtedly increase the amenity value of the area👏
Salthill is home to many of us.
We should be able to enjoy our amenities without this carry on. There is no place in Salthill for that kind of behaviour.
Thanks to the Gardai for your efforts in containing this incident.
Omg the videos going around of the carry on in Salthill today is absolutely ridiculous, gardai stepping in and breaking up about 100 minors who were causing trouble and labelling it police brutality? In Galway? Where are their parents? Where's the social distancing? Disgrace
Delighted to confirm this morning on foot of my representations that I received confirmation from
@GalwayCityCo
that a painting contractor has been appointed for Blackrock Tower
#Salthill
Super to see the installation of a wheelchair accessible swing at Toft Park in
#Salthill
which was funded through the Government’s Play and Recreation Capital Funding Scheme!
Wonderful to see Galway's Aisling O' Brien being Catherine The Duchess of Cambridge choice when it comes to jewellery!
Beautiful piece....I've a feeling Aisling is going to be busy!
Wee hours of the morn but there’s no better feeling than this!
Huge thanks to my campaign team, friends, family and all the assistance from a distance!
Honoured, humbled and delighted 🙌

Galway has its first Changing Places Facility 🙌

my grandmother had a tradition where all females of our family gathered to mark the occasion by lighting a Christmas pudding while toasting women everywhere!
She was a woman before her time. I remember her fondly and all the ladies in my life today.
Wishing everyone a very Happy & Safe Christmas.
Eternal gratitude to all the selfless healthcare workers & frontline defenders for your unwavering commitment to the people of Galway & Ireland throughout 2021.
