All roads lead to Carrickmacross this weekend. Thanks a million to the Carrickmacross Street Festival committee who have organised a mighty programme - please support!

The first step in treating our elderly with respect is to stop treating them as commodities! The recent RTÉ exposé of nursing homes again shows the disaster of the Fianna Fáil/ Fine Gael privatisation & commercialisation of our care sectors.

The Irish government are attempting to include a ‘Kneecap’ clause attack on free speech in terrorism legislation. Sinn Féin will oppose any such attack on political activism or freedom of expression!

🇮🇪The fight to save the GPO is on! Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael want to turn this historic site into shopping units and offices for corporations. Pearse Doherty and I are asking you to sign this petition and help us to stop this shameful sell-out of our rebel history. Sign the

Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald and Finance spokesperson earse Doherty today launched a public petition to “Save the GPO”: sinnfein.ie/news/sinn-fein… This follows the government announcement last week that will see the site converted for retail and office space.

The announcement by government that they’re adding €1,000 in college fees just confirms how out-of-touch they are. It has caused huge anger & must be reversed. Families are struggling with high costs of food, fuel & electricity. They need a break - not a kick in the teeth!

🇮🇪Today, Sinn Féin brings a motion to the Dáil to save the GPO – and stop Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael’s shameful plan to hand it over to corporations for shops and offices. The GPO is imprinted with the sacrifices of courageous Irish men and women who fought the British empire for

This inexplicable decision should be immediately reviewed by Minister O’Callaghan. Children travelling from Palestine to participate in GAA activities on short term visas deserve more than bureaucratic refusals as do those clubs that awaited their arrival. jrnl.ie/6757964

The Ukrainian Accomodation Payment Scheme is unfair and deeply divisive. Landlords are using the scheme to line their pockets while renters struggle with rising costs and a broken housing system. The scheme must now be urgently reviewed. We need fairness and transparency.

Revelations of cancelled IPAS & TPD accommodation contracts highlight need for urgent review - Matt Carthy TD "There should be absolute accountability and transparency on how this public money is spent. We need a full review on the granting of contracts." sinnfein.ie/news/revelatio…

Today, I wrote to the Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Education to request an urgent meeting with Mins McEntee (Ed) & Chambers (DPENDR) so they can answer questions on the ongoing school secretaries & caretakers #PensionParity dispute. Time is of the essence here.

FF & FG are denying many children with disabilities their constitutional right to an education. One of those is Sonny McElvaney from Monaghan who can’t attend school because NCSE have failed to allocate the SNA that he needs. It’s not good enough & we won’t stand for it!

🇮🇪 We are working for that day when the sun sets on partition and rises on a United Ireland. Inch by inch, we get closer to Irish Unity in our time.

Another Bike Shed scandal! This time it’s costing you €100,000! The Taoiseach smirks and laughs when I challenged him about wasting millions of taxpayers’ money. Money that could have been used to help hardpressed household with rip-off bills. Micheál Martin’s smart alec

The law currently allows for the accused in a rape trial to demand the counselling notes of the victim and to use them in court. As chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs & Migration I will be working with other representatives to bring this to an end.

FG, FF & their independent TD lackeys made a calculated decision to screw workers & families in the belief that people will forget by next General Election. It is a cruel, cynical approach by an out-of-touch government that refuses to understand the pressures on households.
