Sinn Féin has always been clear: the EU Migration Pact is not in Ireland’s interest. It is the Irish people who are best placed to make our decisions, not Europe. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are wrong to hand over sovereignty on this issue. Sinn Féin will be calling for a special debate in the Dáil this week. TDs will have an opportunity to vote in support of the debate taking place. We need an international protection system that is fair, managed and properly enforced - one that the people can have confidence in.

At a time when people are being crushed by the cost of living, and after a budget that left ordinary workers behind, this government wants Ireland and the EU to commit billions to Ukraine to weapons of war. That money would be far better invested in public services and improving people’s lives - not in escalating war or undermining Irish neutrality.

We want to thank the hundreds of thousands of people who voted for Sinn Féin and for real change. Your vote matters. Your vote counts. Every single Sinn Féin TD elected last Friday will work morning, noon and a night to stand up for you. To fight for you. To make sure your voice is heard. That is what we will do whether we are in government or in opposition. The work of winning a better future for all continues right now!

€9 million for mobile phone pouches? 🤯 Another shocking waste of taxpayers money by Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil - when children with mental health issues are stuck on waiting lists, and schools can’t afford heating or to keep the lights on. This waste must be stopped and the money redirected to where it’s truly needed. It's time for change! #budget2025

People can’t wait any longer. We need real action from government to support workers, families, local businesses and those who keep Ireland moving every day. Rising fuel prices are putting huge pressure on people. Government needs to listen. Cut taxes on home heating oil, go further on petrol and diesel, and deliver real cost of living support. This can and should be done without further delay. I will keep fighting your corner until you and your family get what you deserve.

The EU Migration Pact is not in Ireland’s interest. Today in the Dáil the government voted to opt-in to all of it We must have the flexibility to create and manage a migration system that is fair, efficient and enforced. Handing wholesale control over migration to Europe is against our interests. My speech 👇

As Health Minister, Simon Harris and the Government signed-off on the contract for the main phase of construction of the National Children’s Hospital - a project now burdened by an outrageous €1.5bn overspend. Tonight he is trying to distance himself from this scandal and is running from his record. Enough is enough - It’s time to change the government! On November 29th, vote Sinn Féin! #GE24 #RTEUpFront

I was elected by ordinary people, I speak out for ordinary people and today I stand with ordinary people in voting no confidence in this government. We are more determined than ever to see a government that puts you and your family first. A real republic - built by the people, for the people 🇮🇪

Fianna Fáil misled the public on the €9m scheme for mobile phone pouches! Two years ago, Minister Norma Foley met with a Yondr executive - the company supplying the pouches - and was even given a pouch by them. Yet, she told the Dáil she had never met them. She must come back into the Dáil and set the record straight. Fianna Fáil claimed it was a once-off cost. Now we know it will cost at least €2 million a year to replace 100,000 pouches. The Fianna Fáil leader refused to answer my questions today. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s wasting of public money must end! It’s time for change.

€127,000 for another bike shed under this government, while ordinary workers and families are told to tighten their belts and wait until next year’s budget for support. The priorities of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are laid bare once again. This cannot continue. Taxpayers’ money should be invested in the things that matter. People deserve a government that puts them first.

Sinn Féin wants to lead the next Government, and I want to be the next Minister for Finance. I want to be a voice for Donegal at the Cabinet table! If you make Sinn Féin the largest party, we will be in the driving seat to lead a new government. This Friday, vote to change the government. Vote Sinn Féin! #ge24 #ge2024 #donegal

Every day this government delays, families fall further behind. Costs keep rising - and still people are being told to wait for another meeting next Tuesday. This is a complete failure of leadership when people need it most. I will keep the pressure on. The solution is there. Scrap fuel taxes. Support working people. Action now.
