- I'm disappointed by the attitude from Sinn Féin that a "white, middle class man", even one who has spend his professional life defending accused persons, couldn't possibly understand what it is like for some people to go before the Courts. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
00:00 - Well done to #Dalkey Tidy Towns for this great initiative. The second World War ‘Éire’ sign rescued from a Dublin cliffside
- Really disgusted by homophobic abuse aimed at @LeoVaradkar outside his and Matt’s home. There is no cause or justification for this. To dress up intimidation and homophobia as a protest fools no one. We as a society, must reject this in the strongest possible terms. #solidarity
- Delighted to write, as Co-Chair of @ipacglobal along with @malcombyrne, in today's @businessposthq, about the need for Ireland to adopt a united stance on Chinese Communist Party attitudes to #democracy, #humanrights and the #ruleoflaw in #China. businesspost.ie/world-extra/we… #CCP
- Sinn Féin has misrepresented what new legislation to reform the courts does. Shouting and ranting about it won't change the fact that this legislation reforms processes so they can cope with emergencies. View the full video here: facebook.com/14148596687743…

00:00 - Really important for Ireland to hold China to account for its actions against democracy and the rule of law in #HongKong as well as mainland #China. I raised this with @malcolmbyrne this morning in the #Seanad, differentiating between the Chinese people and their government.
#Seanad Commencement Matter 2 @malcolmbyrne @barrymward Pro-democracy and human rights activism and the operation of the national security law by the Chinese Government in Hong Kong bit.ly/SeanadLive - Last week, Aoife and I welcomed our daughter, Robin, into the world. We are beyond grateful to the care team and midwives @_TheNMH #HollesStreet Our hearts are full, and I have a new awe for my wife and indeed all mothers. Faílte roimh ár gcailín ciúin 😌
- 54 years ago, Stephen Hawking was given 2 years to live. What a extraordinary life he lived in that time. #RIPStephenHawking
- 34 years ago today, ordinary #Chinese men and women were massacred on #TiananmenSquare, while protesting. It remains one of the most shameful chapters in the Chinese Communist Party's history of aggression towards its own people. #WeRemember #8964 #TiananmenMassacre
- Honoured to meet and speak with @Tsihanouskaya, #Belarus Opposition Leader, on her visit to Ireland this week. There is so much support for Belarus here and Irish people reject the undemocratic treatment of Belarussian citizens by the #Lukashenko regime. @eir_bel @VoicesBelarus
