It appears Sinn Féin’s annual accounts for 2021, included an incorrect auditor’s report, an incorrect cash flow statement and a failure to include the full detail of the political party’s staff pension scheme. But of course they did nothing wrong, they never do?

Just to be very clear on what was rejected tonight on #OscarTraynor : - 253 social homes - 172 affordable homes - 214 cost-rental homes - 214 private homes. Ready to go. Rejected in the name of a ‘public housing on public land’ ideology

The images coming out from Israel are appalling. The explicit targeting of civilians is a war crime & terrorism. Any right minded person must condemn Hamas. Nothing will come of this except more innocent deaths.

The firing of rockets by Hamas and the loss of life in fighting is appalling, as is the impact on people going about their daily lives. We condemn attacks on civilians unequivocally. The fighting should stop immediately

Simple thread that demonstrates that SF and Eoin O’Broin are in fact against every initiative to build homes. It’s almost like they want the problems to persist for political reasons.

Young People don't be fooled by @sinnfeinireland This will cost you. You will wait much longer to get a smaller pension because of policies like this. Ask SF why they increased the age to 66 in NI.

On Tuesday Sinn Féin will bring a motion to the Dáil to restore the right to retire at 65 with a full pension. After a lifetime of work, you deserve the right to retire with your full pension at 65 or to instead work on if you choose.

Stephen Collins exposes SF hypocrisy on housing. The 6,000 units moth balled by SF is the equivalent of reducing Dublin's Housing list by ~50% and eliminating Homelessness in the city! SF are contributing to the problem not solving it. via @IrishTimes

Micheál Martin suffers setback in stumbling RTÉ interview. He must be under intense political pressure given this is his last chance to be Taoiseach and the weakness of his front bench makes him very much a one man show. #GE2020

We have many dark chapters in our history, if we fail to remember them, we fail to learn from them. It’s time for a permanent memorial to Senator Billy Fox in Leinster House who was murdered on this day 47 years ago by the IRA. #OTD

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people. A thread:

@moneillsf You cant take from the bravery of his death but he was in prison for burning to death a young women. His death achieved nothing for Ireland although its mercilessly used by you and exploited by SF for propaganda purposes.
