If government Ministers are so keen to attack the President for speaking the truth then they should at least have the guts to do so publically - rather than hiding behind unattributed quotes #cowards

RT @MaryLouMcDonald: @PresidentIRL has given voice to the reality of the ongoing housing disaster. He called out the failures of successive Govts. Above all he spoke out for those who are suffering now. Our first citizen spoke for all of us. Rather than attacking him Govt should listen. Carefully.
RT @davidcullinane: The average wait times in Emergency Dept stood at over 11 hours for May of this year.

FF want to amend law to allow political parties to raise money through a lottery licence; because this is currently illegal.
BUT. Fianna Fáil last year raised €500K through a lottery licence.
Did they mislead the courts?
Did they give the money to charity, as legally obliged?
This week, Sinn Féin bring a Dáil Motion calling for emergency measures to ensure all children have an appropriate school place for September.
Proposals to segregate children into special education centres must NOT go ahead. I first raised this matter three weeks ago.

It was great to meet up the mighty crew of @CNEScotland at their dinner in Motherwell last night.
RT @JoeEDwyer: .@mattcarthy addressing @WMCairde Dinner - quotes MLK “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving” - paying tribute to those Irish republicans in Scotland who ‘crawled’ & ‘walked’ in hard times.
RT @sinnfeinireland: Action needed on diesel rebate for farm contractors - @mattcarthy
"During a period of escalating input costs, farmers need support."
Government won’t reduce tax on essentials without EU approval but Taoiseach claims we can be forced to join a military alliance, at huge costs to taxpayers and Ireland’s international reputation, without recourse to the people 🤷♂️🤯
It was great to see the streets of Carrick alive and buzzing again. Well done to @colmcarthy and all the Festival committee!

Government Minister on @morningireland states that there are ‘no plans’ to do anything on soaring fuel costs, no proposals to support families with a cost-of-living crisis that is getting worse by the day.
This gov just don’t get it - it’s the 2022 version of ‘let them eat cake’.

Horse Racing is hugely important to economy & rural communities - but questions remain on oversight of rules, regulations & public monies.
Oireachtas Agriculture committee made 11 recomendations but virtually none have been adopted. From hearing this week:
