If you live in Dublin Bay North this leaflet will be coming in your door soon. I’m voting @shanefolan No. 1. Our local TD should be hard-working, compassionate & decent. Shane is all those things & more. I’ve known him for 15 years & he is the change we need. #ShaneIsChange

If your response to the #SarahEverard case is to say #notallmen then you’re part of the problem. Do we really have to raise our daughters to be careful to walk home at night? Because they might get murdered? This is a man problem. We need to own it, challenge it and change it.

Teacher-bashing over re-opening of schools is pretty ridiculous. How many of these voices have been campaigning for lower class sizes or increased investment in education over the years? Teachers often step in when society lets a child down. Let’s have some perspective please.

Robbed. Absolutely robbed. Maybe some of the ‘experts’ on here who support English teams & wouldn’t be able to tell Tolka Park from Tayto Park will finally give Stephen Kenny some credit. Incredibly proud of that side. #COYBIG

Part of a non-violent struggle. Unlike the IRA who once bombed a bus of schoolgirls that included @DUPleader Arlene Foster. Non-violence leads to understanding, empathy & healing. Violence leads to entrenchment and bitterness. You reap what you sow.

No we absolutely don’t welcome the @vp here Ambassador. His administration is now internationally reknowned for sowing division and spewing hateful xenophobic rhetoric. Pence is a disgrace to his Irish immigrant past. #IrishStand

Hate to comment as someone from Dublin, but on trips to Newry as a child we were ‘welcomed’ by British soldiers armed to the teeth inspecting documentation etc. Was that not a hard border? @DearbhailDibs help me out here?

Arlene Foster states “as someone who lived through the troubles we never had a hard border in Ireland”. Extraordinary, disingenuous assertion that will come as news to many.

Constituent tell me there is a 35 month waiting list for the intervention her 6 year old child needs. 35 months is 3 years. He’ll be seen when he is 9 years old. We can’t go ‘back to normal’ when ‘normal’ is the problem.

It has come to my notice that Ukrainian refugee teachers are being charged €390 to register with the @TeachingCouncil . Given the urgent need for language support in our schools for Ukrainian children, I have written to the Education Minister asking for this fee to be waived.

Have been thinking about this all day. Taking due process into account, I’m absolutely aghast that the captain of the national rugby side thought it appropriate to attend this trial. IRFU have to respond, as this is an utter disgrace. #RoryBest

Fairly disgusting performance by Israeli Ambassador to Ireland Ophir Kariv on @RTENewsAtOne . At what point do we decide that we've had enough? The next massacre? Israeli Defence Minister says: "We don't need moral lessons from other countries." They do from Ireland.

This is bang out of order. Ireland is a democracy where politicians are accessible and freely mingle with the people. This is cowardly nonsense. If this is your way of expressing your viewpoint, you need to reassess your argument.

I’ve spent 20 years working with SNAs as a teacher, a principal and a politician. These are workers who change lives every day but are treated with incredible disrespect. They stand apart in this debate and deserve support in this campaign. #VaccinateSNAs #VaccinatSchoolStaff

Taoiseach, Tánaiste & host of Ministers at today’s game. Ireland’s first home loss to England in 60 yrs. We’d better get used to it if funding doesn’t change. Outside of San Marino & Liechtenstein, no side has fallen more in FIFA rankings in the last 20 yrs than Ireland.

This happens because the international community allow it to happen. No country gets more of free pass for flouting international law than Israel. Nine children are dead. These scenes will be repeated for another fifty years until the world says stop.
