The vicious knife attack in north Belfast was depraved. I commend those who acted with courage and selflessness to save the victim’s life. The perpetrator must face the full weight of the law. The racist violence of masked Loyalists who burned families out of their homes echoes the pogroms against nationalist families in 1969. These are the same people who will burn tricolours on bonfires in July. I stand in solidarity with Belfast Mayor Róis-Máire Donnelly. Those responsible for these threats and attacks will not succeed. Watch my full speech below 👇

Decisions on migration should be taken in Ireland. Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael opting Ireland into the EU Migration Pact is wrong. It undermines Irish sovereignty, hands power on migration over to Brussels and won’t fix the serious problems that this government has created.

🇮🇪 Speaking on Sky News tonight about a United Ireland. No matter who is No.10 Downing Street they cannot deny Irish Unity referendums or block the right of the people of Ireland to decide our own future. We will work enthusiastically with Plaid Cymru and the SNP to build a future beyond the Union - national independence, self- determination and progress.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are making a complete shambles of things. The decision to exclude people from talks yesterday was disrespectful and arrogant. They need to pick up the phone, engage with protesters and focus on resolving the crisis by bringing fuel prices down quickly. No half measures.

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 all the way.

🇵🇸 All eyes on the flotilla! I just spoke to Senator Chris Andrews. The flotilla is now 45 nautical miles from Gaza and is faced by 12-14 Israeli warships. Some boats have already been intercepted. This is a moment of huge danger. The Irish government must speak out. Irish citizens and all the activists on board must be given safe passage.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael need to meet with the agricultural contractors, farmers and hauliers who are out on protest due to rising fuel prices which have people under huge pressure. Sneers and threats from government need to stop. If the government had listened to Sinn Féin weeks ago, all of this would have been avoided. Their half measure were never going to work. Prices are too high, way beyond what people can afford. We need prices to come down. The Dáil should be sitting to pass the emergency measures needed.

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. We need the Occupied Territories Bill passed and it must include services!

🇮🇪 I put directly to Keir Starmer the clear need to prepare for the reunification of Ireland. We are stronger when we act collectively and as a whole across our island. Our best future will be shaped by the ending of partition and the achievement of a United Ireland.

Hours of backslapping and self-praise from Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Independents. Still not listening. But the cracks are starting to show in this arrogant government. They’ve lost two TDs. Let’s keep the pressure up. This is not over. The people must be heard.

🔥 Watch this! Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael refuse to listen to people. Arrogant and incompetent. Half measures don’t cut it. We need to see the maximum reduction in fuel prices at the pumps. The people have no confidence in this useless government. They should back their bags and go.

Here is my speech in the Dáil today where I put the questions to the Taoiseach that you have been raising with me since last night. How on earth does a ten year old child go missing from state care and how is it that a man issued with a deportation order was still here six months later. The public are asking serious questions and they need serious answers.

🇮🇪 We continue the fight back against Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s shameful plan to turn the GPO into shops and offices. This is sacred ground - the birthplace of the Irish Republic, the heartbeat of the Easter Rising, a monument to our country’s struggle for freedom. Hands off Ireland’s proud rebel history! Hands off the GPO!

Catherine Connolly’s landslide victory has shown that the vision of a fair, equal, united Ireland inspires so many people. Our job is to continue fighting hard for working people, for families, for communities. To get Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael out of government asap and to deliver a new government for the people.

Micheál Martin says he’s not failing anybody. Not listening. Out of touch. He wants you to wait until NEXT JANUARY for any chance of cost of living supports. Prices and bills are going up now. Families are struggling now. People need help now. They can’t wait!
