Scrapping the Triple Lock would remove the guardrails on where Irish troops can be sent.

It weakens our neutrality and sidelines the UN.

If the Government thinks it has a mandate, let the people decide.

The far-right don’t win when they win elections.

They win when centrist parties like Fianna Fáil adopt their policies to suit their narrative.

The Social Democrats will continue to push against far right politics moving to the centre – no matter what.

For a year, EU leaders have responded to Trump with flattery instead of firmness.

He does not respect weakness. The EU must show unity and decisiveness.

We have the tools. We must use them.

Our annual Local Improvement Scheme allocation of €30,000 can now be submitted to the council for review. Every councillor receives that sum for local improvements in their community. While I have a few projects in mind for 2026, please send any suggestions to [email protected].

Compliance with the law is not a gift from Big Tech.

X’s late promises and weak enforcement show how lightly harm is taken.

We need real enforcement and accountability to protect people.

Children are waiting years for basic therapies across every region.

This is not an isolated issue. It is a national failure.

Primary care needs proper staffing, not excuses.
