Today is an important milestone for the Springhill families. I extend my solidarity to them all on behalf of Sinn Féin. The Springhill families have shown extraordinary courage and determination in their long campaign for truth and justice. I stand in solidarity with them and #Springhill #Solidarity #Justice #IE

“When you drop your child into school and you know there’s an SNA in the school, you walk out and go, ‘Awh, it’s gonna be okay.’” This is why SNAs are so important. Niamh shares the relief that comes from knowing that support is there when your child walks through the school https://t.co/e9y6Gq9IpV #SNAs #EducationSupport #ParentingStress #IE

If you don't understand why it matters to #stopthematch against Israel then you do not know the history if Ireland 🇮🇪 you haven't a clue of who we 🇮🇪 are. And that's before we confront your ignorance of an ongoing genocide of Palestinian children women and men #StopTheMatch #Ireland #Palestine #IE #IL #PS

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 https://t.co/Rmclvu2bQ2 #StopTheGame #SinnFéin #Palestine #IE #IL #PS

🚨July Provision Applications to reopen next week! @PearseDoherty and I fought hard this week to get applications for July Provision reopened. It was a cruel decision by government to close the window after just one week. It left many children with additional needs without #JulyProvision #DisabilityRights #InclusiveEducation #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetprovided.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are failing disabled people and children with additional needs. Today I challenged Micheál Martin to: 👉 Deliver a cost of disability scheme 👉 Properly staff new autism assessment centres 👉 Guarantee an appropriate school place for every child in https://t.co/Wrk0kZvG11 #DisabilityRights #AutismAwareness #EducationForAll #IE

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s budget last October left people with disabilities €1400 worse off. Since then life has become so much harder for everyone but all the more so if you’re a disabled person. Our Dáil motion tonight calls for two things - an immediate emergency €500 now https://t.co/E0KqXFGlaP #DisabilityRights #Budget2023 #EmergencySupport #IE

Israel must be sanctioned. There must be consequences for their ongoing genocide in Gaza. The Occupied Territories Bill must include goods and services otherwise it won’t work. Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael are now attempting to remove services. This must be stopped. We will fight this https://t.co/xyiDj3PyoP #Gaza #Israel #HumanRights #IL #PS

The Taoiseach’s decision to exclude services from the Occupied Territories Bill is unacceptable. Nearly 70% of Ireland’s trade with the occupied territories is in services. So Micheál Martin seeks to weaken the intent of the Bill. We won’t stand for it. Israel must be sanctioned. https://t.co/QWnsg3Q81N #OccupiedTerritories #Ireland #SanctionsAgainstIsrael #IE #IL #PS

More obscene waste on the watch of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil! This time it’s €50 MILLION of your money down the drain on a failed Iarnród Éireann IT project. Every week it’s something else. No oversight. No accountability. Is anybody in charge? The incompetence is off the #WasteOfMoney #IarnródÉireann #Accountability #IE

Rents have now surged to their highest level on record. Evictions are at the highest level since the Famine. All brought to you by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil's Rent Hike Bill. We need to cut rents and ban increases. #Enoughisenough #RentCrisis #HousingAffordability #StopRentHikes #IE

Important conversation with Cope Galway and Domestic Violence Response Galway on the housing crisis, the cost of living and the devastating impact both are having on women and families experiencing domestic violence.

Working people who play by the rules and do everything right are being failed. This by-election is a big opportunity to send Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael a loud message - enough is enough!

For fifty-two years, families who lost loved ones and survivors of the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings have courageously campaigned for truth and justice.

Record Evictions! More than 7000 renters hit with eviction notices in the first three months of 2026. Up a massive 50%. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s rent hikes bill caused this catastrophe. Emergency action can make a difference. Cut rip off rents. Stop rent increases. Introduce #RentCrisis #EvictionNotices #HousingEmergency #IE

🚑 Ambulance workers forced on strike by a Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael government that won’t listen and refuses to act. Left understaffed, overworked and underpaid.

This afternoon Michelle O’Neill and I spoke with @RhunapIorwerth of Plaid Cymru and @JohnSwinney of the SNP on their historic election results. The demand for independence is growing.

In Phibsborough area this evening and people on the doors are raising the same issues again and again - the cost of living, soaring fuel and energy bills and the sheer waste of your money by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. €127,000 on another bike shed in Kerry while families are https://t.co/8zUVBj7hkL #CostOfLiving #WastefulSpending #EnergyBills #IE #IE

Another rip-off bike shed from the serial wasters of your money - Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. This time it’s €127,385 for a bike shed in Kerry. And get this - they had an option for €6900 but chose the shed costing nearly TWENTY TIMES higher! 🤯 Households struggling to pay the #WasteOfMoney #PoliticalAccountability #BudgetingBlunders #IE

“We’ve already acted!” That’s Micheál Martin’s tone-deaf reply! Rip-off energy bills on the rise again. The highest electricity prices in Europe. Over 300,000 households in arrears.

A surplus of over €9billion and people can’t heat their homes or pay their electricity bills. Something is badly wrong. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael aren’t listening. They are refusing to act. We need to keep the pressure on so that people get the support that they need now. https://t.co/dlCHrZ52I1 -
