Remember when we were told that ‘UN envoy for Freedom of expression’ was v important for Ireland’s reputation?
Dept of Foreign Affairs have confirmed that there’s no plans to now fill that role.
Clear proof that this debacle was simply a political stoke! https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-40907840.html
Not long ago Fianna Fáil reps accussed me of being reckless for saying this.
Amazing what a strong opposition can do.
It’s time for a government that will deliver the right to retire at 65 and always puts workers & families first.

RT @sinnfeinireland: The Government voted down Sinn Féin’s motion demanding urgent action to help workers and families struggling with the cost of living crisis.
FF/FG/Greens are happy to leave those in need of support waiting until October
RT @Donnchadhol: This is something @sinnfeinireland have been arguing for weeks. It won’t solve everything but it can certainly assist.
Detail will be important, I look forward to examining it. However we will be keen to do what we can to ensure children get an appropriate school place for Sept
RT @EOBroin: House prices continue to spiral upwards
@DarraghOBrienTD has utterly failed to tackle the affordability crisis
Instead he is making things worse with his shared equity scheme
We need genuinely affordable homes not more developer subsidies

RT @davidcullinane: According to figures I received from the HSE 730 of the 2,080 posts funded for Children’s Disability Network Teams are vacant. This is resulting in a staggering 481,000 hours of therapy & supports not being delivered to children while 52,000 are on various waiting lists. @rtenews
RT @EOBroin: 🆘Single person homelessness hits 5000 for the first time
🆘Child homelessness passes 3000
@DarraghOBrienTD has completely lost control of the homeless crisis

RT @orourke_darren: Shameful! Government OPPOSE Sinn Féin proposal to address overcrowding in EDs across the state AND to protect and enhance emergency services at #NavanHospital.
The fight to #SaveNavanHospital will continue.
Dáil vote on SF motion to protect emergency services at Navan Hospital takes place tonight.
We’ll see if Fianna Fáil have learned from the consequences of their previous broken promises…
RT @ProperFood_ie: If you've never thought of eating in Monaghan, maybe you should.... https://www.properfood.ie/best-food-in-monaghan/
Government don’t seem to understand that increased costs for farmers lead to higher grocery costs for everyone else. Their inaction is adding to the cost-of-living crisis.

RT @johnbradysf: International law is not a pick & mix.If it is mean anything it must be implemented equally.Ireland has declared that Israel has broken International Law by Annexing Palestinian territory. We must be consistent in our position on International Law, violators must not be rewarded
RT @ReadaCronin: All preparations for tomorrow's Theobald Wolfe Tone Commemoration done or in hand.
Looking forward to meeting with my fellow republicans in Sallins tomorrow afternoon.

RT @sinnfeinireland: Scandalous! The Government is bending over backwards to provide political cover to the illegal fundraising activities by Fianna Fáil!
When we challenged the Minister as to who demanded this amendment or where it came from he responded "no comment".
@PearseDoherty @mattcarthy
😳
RT @Trickstersworld: Matt Carthy once put an empty Coke can in the rubbish bin and not the recycling bin in my house. I had to fish it out after he left. #SFDossier
Government often cite EU rules as reason not to intervene in the cost-of-living crisis. In this instance the EU has provided for €31.6million support to struggling farmers but gov have decided not to utiliise it 🤯
RT @sinnfeinireland: Sinn Féin spokesperson on Agriculture Matt Carthy TD has described ‘the failure’ of the Minister for Agriculture to secure government co-financing support to EU agriculture funding as ‘shameful’
@mat…
So, how did FF make €500k by a method that was illegal before this cynical law change?
Did they mislead court by claiming they were a charity; or did they give the money to charity?
If they didn’t then that money was raised illegally.
Big questions to be put to @MichealMartinTD
RT @RTENewsPaulC: During the Electoral Reform Bill debate tonight, @sinnfeinireland TDs @mattcarthy and @EOBroin both question what happened to €500,000 rece…
