Emer Higgins @FineGael, tried to spin @sinnfeinireland policy of not selling public land to private developers. Luckily I was up next to put the record straight and how she along with NAMA & private developers have delayed housing.

Sinn Féin is bringing forward a Dáil motion on Tuesday 9th June to support calls to ‘Stop the Game’ between Ireland and Israel. It is unthinkable for Ireland to play Israel at home or away while Israel is engaging in genocide, occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people. Israel cannot continue to act with impunity. Israel must be sanctioned. Ireland has to take a stand. The FAI has to take a stand. The Irish government has to take a stand. #stopthegame

Almost €100,000 spent by Fingal County Council to dispose of Nitrous oxide canisters over two years – @MarkWardSF "The government is allocating millions to dispose of canisters, but they are doing nothing to regulate nitrous oxide." sinnfein.ie/news/almost-e100…

Growing up in O’Devaney Gardens, we had a framed copy of the 1916 Proclamation hanging proudly on the wall at home. As a child, I heard words like “cherishing” and “equally” but I didn’t feel like I was enough, because we were constantly being told there wasn’t enough funding to invest in our community. Today, people in Dublin Central are still being told they aren't enough. Enough is enough. On Friday, May 22nd, Vótáil Janice Boylan No. 1. We are enough.

Great to speak alongside Gillian Sherratt last night in Dublin Central with families about the parties work on disability - For far too long, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have failed people with disabilities and their families. People are being left waiting for assessments, supports, services and dignity while this government continues to ignore their voices. People with disabilities deserve far better than what they are getting from this government. On May 22nd, you can send a message that enough is enough. Vótáil Janice Boylan No. 1

Tonight, Dublin's inner-city communities have once again been badly let down. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil just voted down Sinn Féin's Motion in the Dáil to fund the regeneration of the flats and to put residents' voices at the heart of the plans. That's why the by-election on Friday May 22nd is so important. The only way to make sure your voice is heard and put maximum pressure on this disgraceful government is to vote Sinn Féin's Janice Boylan No. 1. Enough is enough.

Sinn Féin's Mark Ward has accused the government of not taking the sale of nitrous oxide seriously. It comes after a study found young people in Ireland are increasingly being diagnosed with spinal damage caused by the recreational use of laughing gas. thejournal.ie/laughing-gas-n…

Sinn Féin’s Bill to regulate the sale of nitrous oxide will come before the Dáil today. The government has failed to act as the misuse of nitrous oxide, particularly among young people, is on the rise and having a serious impact on health and wellbeing in our communities. The government must back this common sense legislation to protect our communities. @MarkWardSF

Micheal says he’s been focusing on issues like disability, I wonder how much thought was given to people with disabilities when the govt decided to try do away with blister packs for meds, or maybe he has been planning to announce a cost of living package for people living with disabilities. Maybe he was working on how to do away with the means test for disability support payments? Or filling all those vacant therapist posts? I’d love him to explain what exactly he has been ‘focused on’ and what tangible progress was made from him focusing on it. Honestly, I’d love to see #GE2026

"Are you going to have manners?": In a sharp exchange, Taoiseach Micheál Martin was pressed by journalist Louise Burne on his handling of the Jim Gavin saga. He claimed there is an "agenda" to attack him in recent weeks.

This is scandalous! The Government have spent €7.2 million of tax payers money fighting families of children with disabilities. The Government are breaking the law by not providing an assessment of needs to children. @sinnfeinireland
