This week, govt has chance to end the insurance rip-off by backing Sinn Féin legislation, which will hold companies to account, cut costs and keep money in people’s pockets.

FFFG have allowed companies rip ppl off while pocketing eyewatering profits.

They must act now to make life more affordable.

Had a new little helper visit me in the Constituency Office in Naas today. Baby James Óg brought me up to date on everything. Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh siad 💙

Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger.

Its only contribution to climate targets is less paper needed to print out it's so light on detail

Israeli settlers set fire to the St. George Monastery and the Christian cemetery in the Christian village of Taybeh, West Bank—one of the oldest Christian sites in Palestine.

Inundated with emails from ppl really upset about Israel’s onslaught in Gaza and the Occupied Territories Bill. The scale of violence at the hands of Israel is too much, tens of thousands of men, women, and heartbreakingly children slaughtered.

You want Irish govt to do more. I’m with you on this 💯

Last week’s presentation in the Oireachtas AV Room on #RareDiseases, including Neurofibromatosis, NF, was powerful and moving. The message is clear, proper supports, and investment in research can’t wait.

Great to catch up with constituent and #NF Warrior Gillian Dunne Minnock and comrades.

#SaveTheGPO
FFFG attempt to desecrate the hollowed ground of GPO and turn it into retail space

The place where Irish rebels dared to take on the British Empire and declare the Republic we still aspire to today

A 32 county Republic this govt has abandoned

We will never give up on the 32C Republic

Today, Sinn Féin will bring a motion to Dáil to save GPO and stop FFFG's shameful plan to turn this historic site into shopping units and offices.

The GPO belongs to the people, their plan is a betrayal of our rebel history.

Ordinary people are risking their lives to report on what is happening in Gaza and it’s made almost impossible by Israel again cutting WiFi/3G.
I have an interview now on my phone that is made up of 8 WhatsApp voice notes that the guest had to walk miles to send out. #UnmuteGaza

Today on UN Day for Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, we are sickened by Gazan children being slaughtered

How many more war crimes must Israel commit before international leaders echo the voices of their populations and demand Israel #StopTheGenocide

Spoke Tues on govt's shameful decision not to support our bill to stop Israeli war bonds coming through our Central Bank.
A year on from Irish recognition of the Palestinian state and still no credible action being taken to stop the ongoing slaughter in Gaza and West Bank.
The best of a bad lot.

“Over 15,000 children waiting on an Assessment of Need have been failed by Govt. FFFGLL have turned their backs on children. They must stop breaking the law and deliver the support families deserve.”

Another week, another power cut in #Straffan. Beyond frustrating for residents and businesses. A failure of basic infrastructure and something I'll be tackling on the Infrastructure Cmt.

I've asked ESB Networks what's causing these constant outages and when will it be sorted.

Well-deserved standing ovation and applause today in Dáil as Cara Darmody completed her 50hr protest outside Dáil.

Thousands of children have been left behind as they fail to provide them with Assessment of Needs.

Govt treat these children with dignity and respect.

Maith thú, Cara. Treise leat!✊️

Met Castletown Gate Protectors outside Dáil today.

There's been a deliberate attempt by OPW to distract from goals of all involved. Remember it was OPW refused to purchase the lands and adhere to their started policy of reuniting the lands.

We all want to ensure Lime Ave remains pedestrianised.

Such a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating incredible kids at #Kildare Inclusivity Festival! So much joy and learning in one space.

Great to catch up with @MaynoothAccessGroup and see their huge display of diverse and inclusive toys. Every child deserves to know they belong.

Sinn Féin is bringing a motion to the Dáil tomorrow to demand action on affordable and accessible #childcare.

With parents facing extortionate costs and waiting lists growing, it’s time the Government delivered the plan it promised.

Today we remember Bobby Sands, first to die after 66 days, during 1981 hunger strike.

Bobby believed in the unbreakable spirit of the oppressed. From Ireland to Gaza the bond between Ireland and Palestine is still strong

"Our revenge will be the laughter of our children"

Rousing speech from Sth Kildare TD Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh at our Easter Commemoration to remember Grey Abbey Martyrs.

They died for the cause they loved. They took an oath to the Republic and died honoring it.

Fuair siad bás ar son Phoblacht na hÉireann agus i measc laochra na nGael go raibh siad.
