00:00- I normally like to concentrate on putting forward policy instead of singling out others in the Dáil. But when you have TDs opposing just for the sake of populism, without any attempt at honestly engaging, I have no problem calling them out for their lies and inaccuracies.
00:00 - By next week, you will no longer need planning permission to cover your roof with solar panels🎉 Delighted the @DeptHousingIRL Committee approved our proposals today, looking forward to signing regulations into law next week @FineGael
00:00 - “Ireland remains fully committed to the sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders. Those borders have not changed, and Russia’s use of force will not change them.”
- I am honoured to have been appointed to the role of Minister of State for European Affairs by An Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar Really looking forward to starting this important work alongside An Taoiseach, An Tánaiste and my European counterparts at this critical time for Europe.
- Only two Sinn Fein TD’s (Martin Kenny & Pa Daly) which is 20% of their allocation turned up to vote on the retention of our Special Criminal Court which proves SF are weak on crime. This court has convicted some of our most violent gangland criminals over the past five decades.
- Horse Racing to return behind closed doors with strict protocols from June 8th. Much needed certainty for the sector. @HRIRacing @RacingPost @TheIrishField
- Today was thankfully my last day in isolation, after a difficult period with the passing of my Dad followed by catching Covid. Regardless age, the passing of a parent is very tough. Thanks for all the kind messages over the past fortnight, the support is very much appreciated.
- It’s official… legislation to provide maternity leave for Councillors has been approved by the Dáil and Seanad 🎉 Very grateful to all who have engaged with me and contributed to the process over the last two years, to get us to this point @DeptHousingIRL @FineGael
00:00 - In Fine Gael, we don’t hurl from the ditch. Our voters want us to find solutions, take responsibility and lead our country #FGAF22
- After avoiding qs all week, Matt Carthy confirms today that Sinn Fein may not release their budget till MONDAY. One day before the budget. For a party that says they want to lead Gov, clearly they don’t want their policies scrutinised, or are still trying to work out the maths.
00:00 - This morning I'm announcing €215,000 split between the political parties and independent groups to support the running of more women and diverse candidates at the next local elections. gov.ie/en/press-relea…
- Wishing my good friend @LeoVaradkar the very best; it was a privilege to work alongside him, working particularly closely in my EU Affairs role. Having seen first-hand the respect he commands across European and global politics, he will be huge loss to Fine Gael and this State.
