- Haven’t seen her nursing badge & watch in over 12 years & Róisín Boyle is now Róisín Doherty. What we are about to face with this virus requires an amazing national effort. Proud that Róisín has decided with teachers off to re-register as a nurse to help in whatever way she can.
- Government have rushed though an amendment to legislation to give a Junior Minister who is already on over €124,000 a salary increase of over €16,000. That’s FF, FG and the Greens for you. I will be voting against this tomorrow. 👇
00:00 - Hey @LeoVaradkar maybe you can tell them why you blocked my insurance reform legislation for 2 years? And continue to delay its sections for another year at the request of the insurance industry? And while as Taoiseach you pedalled the spin of the industry of falling premiums?This week I want to talk to you about insurance. Whether you’re a homeowner, have a car or own a business, this government are committed to bringing the costs of insurance down for you
00:00 - In the 1997 general election Sinn Féin secured 2.5% of the vote and elected our only TD Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin this picture shows me and Matt Carthy celebrating this victory in Monaghan Town. It’s been an extraordinary journey since. Upwards and onwards.
- @LeoVaradkar you're embarrassing yourself. This is a Key Recommendation of the Expert Review of Corporation Tax commissioned by Minister Noonan & carried out by the former chair of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council Seamus Coffey. You can read it here: gov.ie/en/publication…Multinationals played a crucial role in lifting Ireland out of the last recession and they will again as we rebuild our economy after Covid. What does SF want to do? Tax them. businesspost.ie/ireland/dohert…
- One insurance company FBD is reporting that it doubled their profits up to a staggering €100 million while buisness, motorists and farmers are being fleeced. Time to end the Insurance Rip-off.
- Unbelievable! FG/FF/Greens just voted to continue to allow Cuckoo funds to pay no tax AND outbid ordinary workers & families for homes they so desperately need. Once again this government have shown whose side they are on. It's time for change.
- Today we say our goodbyes to Robert and his daughter Shauna, the youngest victim of the Creeslough tragedy. The grief and pain is overwhelming in these communities but comfort and solace are drawn from the support, love and prayers of the nation. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
- 1/ On the day that thousands of workers who have lost their jobs will receive their COVID-19 Unemployment Payment, @AIBIreland have charged them quarterly fees on their accounts. Families that received €350 today just to get through the week have seen up to €100 disappear...
- Shameful - Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Green TDs have just voted against a Sinn Féin amendment that would reduce the cost of Home Heating Oil by €118 per fill. Instead these same TDs have just now voted to increase it from this Sunday.
- Leo Varadkar has just admitted to deleting from his phone the communication from his friend looking for a confidential document. This communication if still on his phone would be subject to a freedom of information request. #DeleteDeleteDelete
- You have been caught out. When you’re in a hole stop digging. Here is one of the emails that the Director of public affairs of Yondr sent to you last year. Also why didn’t you tell the public that there would be an additional cost every year of nearly €2 million to replace up
I have written to the Ceann Comhairle to request that Pearse Doherty correct the record on his erroneous assertions - I have never held a meeting with Yondr or other mobile phone pouch providers. - You couldn't make it up!! Tonight, Government will hijack Covid supports legislation to sneak through a tax break for Cuckoo Funds & reward them for snatching up family homes. We will fight this tooth and nail.
