Summerhill GP Care For All is essential to the Dublin 1 community, caring for over 2,600 patients. Earlier this year, Róisín Shortall and I made the Government aware the organisation was at risk of closure unless they addressed upcoming changes in taxation. They didn't listen🧵

So, what are the various political parties proposing in terms of referendums and constitutional change in their #GE2024 #GeneralElection2024 manifestos? A thread 🧵 1/n

Thank you Irish Congress (ICTU) for calling out the shocking claims of the business lobby regarding the Occupied Territories Bill. This is a modest measure, the bare minimum under int law. We should not be trading and profiting from war crimes! ictu.ie/news/oireachta…

This audio - and some of the coordinated media coverage over the last 48 hours - has been genuinely unbelievable. A disgraceful and orchestrated attack on a woman of extraordinary substance and courage. Connolly for President

I don’t get how Heather Humphreys can say in one breath that as a Minister, she simply forwarded on a letter on behalf of an animal abuser, but then assert that she wasn’t in a position to assist more when a grieving family sought justice for their beloved son who was failed by the state

On Pat Kenny Newstalk Heather Humphrey’s is claiming that she did make representations on behalf of the O’Farrell family? I think it’s important to clarify what form that representation came in? Which Minister? Was it written down? Is there a record of the correspondence? #Aras25

Humphreys says she ‘abhors animal cruelty’ - How is this possible while she also supports fox hunting and hare coursing? Both these statements can't be true. independent.ie/irish-news/pol…

I don't often get viscerally annoyed by things politicians say, but a Fine Gael Minister attempting to take the high ground over home repossessions has done it.

Martin seems to misunderstand the European Union. I think every European leader would agree that the EU wants actively engaged citizens, not obedient uncritical subjects. irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…

Not 100% sure if “it’s not about the barristers” line can be reconciled with this quote from yesterday’s Sunday Independent

If Fine Gael and Heather Humphreys believe otherwise - as they seem to be arguing is the case for Catherine Connolly - then one could equally ask why an FG TD can question a witness at an Oireachtas Committee, without having to disclose that the witness used to be his client
