This is genuinely upsetting. My family would have previously been FF voters but not anymore The party line is that these politicians can vote with their conscience but the reality is very different Voting for FF candidates seems to = voting for whatever Micheál Martin wants

I gave my signature to #MariaSteenForPresident I hoped she would be a voice for me and people who think like me. That alternative voice was shut down today.there is nobody who represents me on the ballot #DeathBy1000Knives

Out of the 3 candidates Catherine Connolly is the only one who is able to provide a strong and positive answer on the issue of neutrality Our defence forces should not be drawn into becoming instruments of EU militarisation #TonightVMTV

If the Goverment wanted they could reopen salmon fisheries in the morning. Why are we choosing to import farmed salmon when we have the best fresh salmon on our doorstep? No one is tougher on the fishing industries than the Irish Administration. #aontú #aontúaccountability

That's my Senator 🫶 The Government absolutely have the power to remove the means rest for carers. They use ambiguous language on purpose to give themselves an out. Carers are doing an unpaid service to the State and should not have to beg for vital support

Ah lads, Bertie wouldn't have flinched over 3 grand. In all seriousness though there wasn't much option other than resigning. FF membership aren't going to be happy but who could blame them 🤷‍♀️

Aontú is calling on the government to prioritise assisted living facilities in the upcoming budget. #aontú northernsound.ie/news/local-sen…

As per usual there's nothing in Budget 2026 for stay at home parents. Very disappointing and lacklustre budget. #Budget2026

On day 20 of their hunger strike, survivors of industrial and reformatory schools have very humble asks: a contributory pension and a HAA card. Senator Sarah O’Reilly raised this in the Seanad and called for the Minister to come into the chamber for debate on it.

Irish farmers are expected to follow rigorous climate stipulations while the EU pushes a deal that will drive deforestation in Brazil. It makes absolutely no sense

This is totally horrific A young girl who was entrusted to the care of the state has been completed failed both by TUSLA and by a disastrous migration policy. My heart aches for that child. She's the same age as my niece. It is beyond unimaginable

After years of waiting for a long promised Endometriosis Framework to be published, women have been let down by a framework with no ambition. Under the framework, it will take 25 years to clear the waiting list for surgery. Paul Lawless TD and Aontú rep Melissa Byrne have done

In the space of a week, two heartbreaking cases have emerged concerning children in Tusla’s care. The system is broken. #aontú #aontúaccountability #tusla

People across the country felt that none of the presidential candidates represented them. The sheer volume of spoiled votes makes that very clear.

There are four stories in this election. In no particular order. 1. Connolly landslide. 2. Slow, painful dying of FFG. 3. Surge of spoilt votes. 4. Total apathy. They can all coexist. No need to claim this is bigger than that, or that isn't real. They all do. Glad it's over.

The EU is attacking Irish farmers as our government stands by and watches. #aontú #aontúaccountability #farming

Sincere thanks to Senator Senator Rónán Mullen for mentioning ACN’s upcoming Week of Witness and raising the issue of Christian persecution in the Seanad this morning.

It is essential that State Agencies can be held to account. The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority today could not answer questions to the Joint Oireachtas Committee it is obliged to report to. This is not what accountability looks like. #fisheries #aontúaccountability #aontú

You can actually hold all the following views at the same time: That our current migration policy is chaotic & needs reform That the system doesn't protect asylum seekers and refugees That human dignity shouldn’t be politicised or weaponised
