    Considering the importance of Ire being represented at #COP28UAE    I have offered a pair to Min Eamon Ryan for the no confidence motion. This won't change outcome of the motion as our votes will simply cancel each other out, but will allow for continuity at climate talks

    Online and media debate about schools reopening is once again framed parents vs teachers* Yet, the ultimate failure here is by the Minister, who has not implemented properly even the most basis measures to deal with Covid in schools.

    The Taoiseach has just confirmed in the Dail to me that Ireland is currently in discussions to take 4 (yep 4!) unaccompanied minors from Lesbos. This is a wholly inadequate response to this crisis and Ireland needs to take its responsibility seriously.

    Would love to see RTE include how much #IrelandsRichList paid in taxes. Would certainly make for more interesting viewing I reckon

    They say they care about homelessness...yet they burn down homeless hubs; They say they care about women... yet they target & harass women; They say they care about children... yet they terrorise babies and their parents. Don't fall for their lies. They only care about hate.
    Far right protesters outside our home on Sat night while we're putting our baby in bath. They have a sign about Irish homeless but I bet none have helped anyone fight their eviction. They don't care about children or homeless. They just want to spread hate and division.

    And yet, a vaccinated woman still has to miscarry on her own (in a hospital with fully vaccinated staff) due to covid risk. I just don't get it. #WheresTheCompassion #BetterMaternityCare

    I spoke in Dail today against the Govt handing over €17.6m to the greyhound industry. Unfortunately, it isn't just the Govt that wants this money wasted on greyhounds - Sinn Fein & Labour spoke in favour of it too. Me? I could think of millions of more deserving ways to spend it

    Tonight, Govt voted not to eliminate consistent child poverty. Another generation failed. #SocDems

    This is disgusting. Don't fall for their BS about protecting Ireland, protecting women and children. They'd burn the country down to push their ideology of hate.
