The minimal reduction of 2c per litre on Agriculture diesel will be undone on 1st May when the next carbon tax hike hits in - farmers & farm contractors get just 7 weeks support from this out-of-touch government.
Maddening stuff!
Proud & honoured with my latest award 😳🥇
RT @MaryLouMcDonald: Huge credit to an Garda Síochána @GardaTraffic and US authorities striking a significant blow against the Kinihan Drug gang. There can be no safe haven for this vicious gang who has preyed on our communities for far too long.
It’s always an honour to be asked to speak at an Easter Rising commemoration but it is very special to be invited to address my own county event for the first time.
Remember those who died for Irish Freedom - Jon us at in Monaghan; assemble 3pm.
An Phoblacht Abú!
RT @farming_indo: Carbon Tax hike will wipe out cut to Agri-diesel excise reduction, says Sinn Féin https://buff.ly/3rfTjgz
RT @rodneyedwards: I may have been born a Protestant, but I have always embraced different cultures. I am as content at a GAA match or listening to Irish as I am at the Twelfth. I speak to all politicians regardless of background. I would be failing as a journalist (and a human being) if I didn’t.
This is the wrong move, at wrong time, that will penalise the wrong people.
Those who use turf to heat home do so as there’s no affordable alternative. Moves like this, in cost-of-living crisis, undermine support for Climate Action & reinforce view that this gov is out of touch.
RT @farmersjournal: Minister Eamon Ryan plans to ban the sale and distribution of turf from September. https://www.farmersjournal.ie/turf-for-yourself-but-n…
RT @EOBroin: The O’Devaney Gardens scandal continues
@DarraghOBrienTD excluded apartments from his ban on bulk buying by cuckoo funds
Now @anbordpleanala amends it’s own planning decision to allow funds snap up €450k private apartments on public land https://www.businesspost.ie/houses/hundreds-of-homes-at-odevaney-gardens-can-now-be-sold-to-funds-da5fd358
Thanks to @MaryLouMcDonald @cjhumanrights @IRLPatricia @PeterShirlow Ashling Kiernan @TadhgHickey & @PaulineTullyTD for making the conference such so interesting.
There’s clearly a growing interest in Irish Unity.
Brilliant turnout at our conference in Monaghan today.
A United Ireland can be a better Ireland - let’s work for it!
RT @davidcullinane: The announcement from Dr. Tony Holohan is not surprising. Senior officials at the top of the civil service operating outside of established procedures is shocking. With poor leadership from Gov. Serious questions now for Secretary General of the Dept of Health & Minister Donnelly
RT @Farrell_Mairead: It’s right here in black and white in the secondment policy for civil servants that ‘all secondments will be temporary in nature’.
Dr Holohan has said he won’t be going to back to the CMO position.
This doesn’t stack up.
Please spread the word!
All are welcome to attend tomorrow’s conference: ‘Time for Irish Unity?’ at the Garage Theatre, Monaghan from 11am-1pm.
A United Ireland will be a better Ireland for everyone but we need to plan for it.
Register here or just turn up in the morning: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/time-for-irish-unity-tickets-269120325137
RT @davidcullinane: The Minister for Health has allowed senior officials in the Dept & the HSE to run rings around him. They pushed back against reform & won. The Regional Health Areas will be toothless with control remaining at the centre. No change. No transparency https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/casual-contempt-for-donnelly-exposed-as-watt-lets-mask-slip-1.4847975
RT @sinnfeinireland: 📻 Sinn Féin spokesperson on Agriculture @mattcarthy will be live on @TodaywithClaire this morning, from 11:30am on @RTERadio1.
Listen here: https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/ #TodayCB
Shane O’Farrell was killed by someone who should have been imprisoned. His family’s quest for truth has been frustrated at every stage by all public bodies they have encountered, including GSOC. I questioned GSOC in PAC on their role. Full interaction: https://youtu.be/vdgNlU7FrIs
RT @moneillsf: Rural communities must be supported as the cost-of-living and farming rises.
We met with farmers in Armagh to listen and discuss the challenges facing rural Ireland.
Sinn Féin wants to get back into the Executive, and to work together to support small farms and rural families.
RT @davidcullinane: The Minister for Health has squandered a chance to truly reform the HSE & usher in a new era of accountability & better health care delivery. He has sided with senior officials in the HSE & the Dept & chose minimum change instead of real reform. A bad day for the patients.
RT @cjhumanrights: Look forward to contributing to this conference.
‘Time for Irish Unity?’
Very much appreciate the invitation.
