Days before Christmas, FFFGInds hitting ppl up to €50/month for blisterpacks This hurts older, early dementia, disabled ppl Blister packs aren’t a luxury, they’re essential. A cruel cut that needs reversing. If you or yours are affected, pls @ me at [email protected] or leave a comment

Our Victims of Sexual Violence Civil Protection Orders Bill will come before Dáil tomorrow, Tue 25 Nov. This Bill means, at the time someone is convicted of sexual violence, a court can impose a restraining order on the person when they are released. All parties must support this Bill.

A truly historic day for Ireland. In Catherine Connolly we’ve chosen vision, compassion, integrity. A President who listens and leads with heart. This campaign was about hope. Let’s carry that hope forward and build a government for the people. Together, we can shape a new and United Ireland 🇮🇪

Polling stations are now closed. So grateful to everyone who opened their doors, shared their hopes, stood with us throughout this campaign and voted today. Politics is about people and ye have been inspiring. Go raibh míle maith agaibh. Catherine Connolly Abú 💚

Day before polling out in #Leixlip. Looking forward to voting tomorrow. Great response for Catherine Connolly. Ppl value her honesty and independence. She’s connecting with communities. Más mian leat guth láidir, neamhspleách mar Uachtarán na hÉireann, tar amach agus vótáil Catherine Connolly 1.

There has never been a more important time to elect a President who will be independent of Government. A President who will represent Ireland with pride, courage, and integrity. A President who will stand for peace, diplomacy, and neutrality. This Friday, 24 Oct Vótáil Catherine Connolly 1

A damp day couldn't dampen the spirits of the Catherine Connolly for President canvassers in #Kilcock today. People on the doors understand the issues of Neutrality, Triple Lock and United Ireland and they know Catherine is the woman for the job. #Connolly4President #ConnollyDonUachtaránacht

Putting the final flourishes to the Catherine Connolly postering campaign in North Kildare. Great poll. Going strong. It's the finish that matters. On 24 October elect a President who will represent Ireland with pride, courage, and integrity. #ConnollyForUachtarán #VótáilConnolly1 #Áras25

This week, govt has chance to end the insurance rip-off by backing Sinn Féin legislation, which will hold companies to account, cut costs and keep money in people’s pockets. FFFG have allowed companies rip ppl off while pocketing eyewatering profits. They must act now to make life more affordable.

Had a new little helper visit me in the Constituency Office in Naas today. Baby James Óg brought me up to date on everything. Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh siad 💙

Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger. #protest #TelAviv #Gaza #hunger #IsraelGazawar #Israel

I'll be on @kfmradio this morning at 9.25am with a FF TD to debate the anticlimax that was the National Development Plan Review announced yesterday.

Irish government is blocking these children's visas. #LetThemPlay #GaaPalestine my.uplift.ie/petitions/le... @uplift.ie

Inundated with emails from ppl really upset about Israel’s onslaught in Gaza and the Occupied Territories Bill. The scale of violence at the hands of Israel is too much, tens of thousands of men, women, and heartbreakingly children slaughtered. You want Irish govt to do more. I’m with you on this 💯

Last week’s presentation in the Oireachtas AV Room on #RareDiseases, including Neurofibromatosis, NF, was powerful and moving. The message is clear, proper supports, and investment in research can’t wait. Great to catch up with constituent and #NF Warrior Gillian Dunne Minnock and comrades.

#SaveTheGPO FFFG attempt to desecrate the hollowed ground of GPO and turn it into retail space The place where Irish rebels dared to take on the British Empire and declare the Republic we still aspire to today A 32 county Republic this govt has abandoned We will never give up on the 32C Republic

Today, Sinn Féin will bring a motion to Dáil to save GPO and stop FFFG's shameful plan to turn this historic site into shopping units and offices. The GPO belongs to the people, their plan is a betrayal of our rebel history. ✍🏻 Sign the petition here: outreach.sinnfein.ie/save-the-gpo

Ordinary people are risking their lives to report on what is happening in Gaza and it’s made almost impossible by Israel again cutting WiFi/3G. I have an interview now on my phone that is made up of 8 WhatsApp voice notes that the guest had to walk miles to send out. #UnmuteGaza

Today on UN Day for Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, we are sickened by Gazan children being slaughtered How many more war crimes must Israel commit before international leaders echo the voices of their populations and demand Israel #StopTheGenocide #FreeGaza #CeasefireNow #AllEyesOnDeck

Mothers Against Genocide denied entry to pre-arranged meeting with First Minister Michelle O'Neill by Assembly clerk

Spoke Tues on govt's shameful decision not to support our bill to stop Israeli war bonds coming through our Central Bank. A year on from Irish recognition of the Palestinian state and still no credible action being taken to stop the ongoing slaughter in Gaza and West Bank. The best of a bad lot.

“Over 15,000 children waiting on an Assessment of Need have been failed by Govt. FFFGLL have turned their backs on children. They must stop breaking the law and deliver the support families deserve.” - @readacronin.bsky.social #Ireland

Another week, another power cut in #Straffan. Beyond frustrating for residents and businesses. A failure of basic infrastructure and something I'll be tackling on the Infrastructure Cmt. I've asked ESB Networks what's causing these constant outages and when will it be sorted.

Well-deserved standing ovation and applause today in Dáil as Cara Darmody completed her 50hr protest outside Dáil. Thousands of children have been left behind as they fail to provide them with Assessment of Needs. Govt treat these children with dignity and respect. Maith thú, Cara. Treise leat!✊️

Met Castletown Gate Protectors outside Dáil today. There's been a deliberate attempt by OPW to distract from goals of all involved. Remember it was OPW refused to purchase the lands and adhere to their started policy of reuniting the lands. We all want to ensure Lime Ave remains pedestrianised.

Such a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating incredible kids at #Kildare Inclusivity Festival! So much joy and learning in one space. Great to catch up with @MaynoothAccessGroup and see their huge display of diverse and inclusive toys. Every child deserves to know they belong.

Sinn Féin is bringing a motion to the Dáil tomorrow to demand action on affordable and accessible #childcare. With parents facing extortionate costs and waiting lists growing, it’s time the Government delivered the plan it promised.

Today we remember Bobby Sands, first to die after 66 days, during 1981 hunger strike. Bobby believed in the unbreakable spirit of the oppressed. From Ireland to Gaza the bond between Ireland and Palestine is still strong "Our revenge will be the laughter of our children" #FreeGaza #FreePalestine

Rousing speech from Sth Kildare TD Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh at our Easter Commemoration to remember Grey Abbey Martyrs. They died for the cause they loved. They took an oath to the Republic and died honoring it. Fuair siad bás ar son Phoblacht na hÉireann agus i measc laochra na nGael go raibh siad.

The Israeli propaganda being parroted on @news.rte.ie right now makes me physically sick.

250 people marked the #EasterRising in #Waverley, #Sydney, honouring #Ireland ‘s patriot dead & recommitting to the cause of #IrishUnity. The event also marked 200 yrs since the death of Michael Dwyer. Speakers were fmr MP Paul Lynch & #SinnFéin Australia rep Barry Corr #SpéirGorm #ÉiríAmachNaCásca

Spoke last week about #Gaza. Our gov is facilitating genocide by allowing aeroplanes with weapons aboard stop at Shannon Airport. Extensively reported by @wereontheditch.bsky.social links below. Govt must stop deceiving us #FreeGaza ontheditch.com/israeli-weapon… ontheditch.com/weapons-of-war���

Busy afternoon in my Naas Constituency Office today. Few drop-ins for Easter Lilies too ar fáil san Oifig. Oinigh tírghráthóir marbh na hÉireann. Caith do Líle na Cásca le bród. Honour Ireland's Patriot Dead. Wear your Easter Lily with pride.

What questions remain after the HIQA report on the use of unapproved springs in spinal surgery. Two religious bodies offer financial contribution to Mother & Baby payment scheme. US markets close in the red for another day. Keira Keogh @readacronin.bsky.social Liam Quaide, Senan Molony

Join us on Merrion Sq. entrance of the Dáil on Wednesday 🚨

Out and about on constiturncy work in #Celbridge this afternoon. Made it my business to call upon the @SaveCastletown activists at the gate. Discussed progress and complimented them on their ongoing dedication and tenacity. Ní neart go cur le chéile.

Calls for autism spectrum disorder classrooms in Kildare school Sinn Féin Deputy Réada Cronin raised the matter in the Dáil this week By Ken Phelan www.ireland-live.ie/news/kildare...

Great panel event today hosted by MEP Lynn Boylan on how a United Ireland can change our environment for the better. Go raibh míle maith agat @lnbdublin.bsky.social agus buíochas le gach éinne a ghlac páirt.

Comhbhrón ó chroí do chlann Mick O'Dwyer, iar-bhainisteoir foireann peile Cill Dara. Sean chara m'athair agus Ciarraíoch go brách. Deepest condolences to the family of Mick O'Dwyer, former manager of Kildare football team. An old friend of my father. A Kerryman forever, a Kildare man for a loan.

It's Daffodil Day today and was happy to support this week in Leinster House. So many of us have had this unwelcome visitor but help and support is available from Irish Cancer Society. If you can donate to cancer.ie #DaffodilDay

A picture tells a thousand words. This is what Mícheál Martin and FFFGLL facilitated in the Dáil chamber today. #Náire

Sinn Féin is bringing a motion to Dáil this week calling on Govt to properly fund the National Ambulance Service. Years of underinvestment and staff shortages have pushed services to the brink, putting both patients and frontline workers at risk. It’s time to invest and tackle this crisis.
