Today at Croke Park we witnessed something special. Mayo defeated Kerry by 1-20 to 1-17 in front of 83k people and claimed their first All-Ireland senior football title since 1951. After seventy five years the Sam Maguire is heading west, and the scenes at the final whistle captured the pure release of a county that had waited a lifetime. At the same time, Kerry produced a performance of real quality as defending champions, pushing the contest to the very end. It feels right to place a final like this against the longer story of the association itself. When Michael Cusack and a small group of men met in Hayes’ Hotel in Thurles on 1 November 1884, their purpose was clear. To protect and revive the traditional Irish games that were in danger of fading, and to create a sporting organisation that belonged to the Irish people. They wanted athletics and games rooted in community, played with passion, and capable of stirring shared pride amongst our people. What unfolded this afternoon was that original idea still alive and in motion. The skill, the intensity, the roar of two proud counties filling the stands, the drama of a hard fought contest that went right to the wire all of it was the living continuation of what those founders set out to build. Today we were able to see the magic they imagined more than a century ago still working its way through the modern game, despite the best attempts to usurp the organisation from within and make it something it was never designed to be. However, while tens of thousands of Gaels gathered in Croke Park for the All-Ireland final, a celebration of Irish games and the community spirit of the Irish people, our identity and indeed our very place in this world that the GAA was founded upon to not only promote, but to protect, a separate, alien culture was on full display moving through O’Connell Street. The former a major national sporting occasion rooted in Ireland’s own mythos. The latter, an expression of a growing population of non-Gaelic peoples of a different cultural and the bold moves they will make to assert themselves. The contrast was unmistakable but as a far greater man once said. "Nothing can alter the truth of it. Ireland belongs to the Irish.” - Pádraig Pearse

We were asked to approve funding for several NGOs yesterday. One of them being DePaul housing, an org that was recently found to be allocating 70% of its housing stock to people exiting the IPAS system in 2014. Last wednesday the Minister for justice told us the average length of stay in IPAS accommodation that year was 18 months. Hardworking salt of the earth Irish people contact me everyday with their housing queries, some waiting 15-20 years to be allocated social housing! This is clear racism and discrimination against the native Irish people inside their own country, I'll play no part in supporting it. I put the funding to a vote and it went exactly as you'd imagine.

At last nights meeting of Fingal County Council, I proposed a motion to compel Fingal County Council to release the figures relating to the number of foreign nationals currently on the local authority's social housing waiting list. A similar question asked by a Cllr from Fine Gael in 2011, when answered, found that 51% of the individuals on the housing list at the time were foreign nationals. A figure that has likely only risen after 14 more years of sustained mass immigration. Last nights motion was seconded by Aontú Cllr Gerard Sheehan, who stated that he was against the motion but wanted the issue discussed. The Labour Party Mayor reprimanded Aontú for "working with the far-right", Cllr Ellen Troy jumped in to throw Cllr Sheehan under the bus and declared that Cllr Sheehan's support of the motion being floored "wasn't Aontú", as you will see in the video that will follow. After pushing for a vote on my motion, the motion was defeated 28-1, with both Aontú Cllrs joining the government and leftist parties to prevent updated stats on numbers of foreign nationals on the housing list being released. The actions of Ellen Troy in Fingal County Council last night, as well as her willingness to throw her own party colleague under the bus when he dared to allow open discussion of the effects of mass immigration into Ireland, shows definitively that Troy and Aontú leadership are more than happy to be joined at the hip with the Irish regime. The 28-1 vote result should tell you all you need to know about who the real opposition in Ireland is. Join the National Party.

Fingal county council recently communicated to the public, "Council makes changes to organisational structure to meet challenges." Inside these press releases, they stated, that one of these challenges was the rapidly growing population of Fingal. At the meeting, I raised the real question: Where exactly is this population surge coming from when Irish births are collapsing? It's obvious: Mass immigration of non-nationals flooding the area, seeing new developments being snatched up, to between 80 - 90% by foreign nationals, is the source of the county's population growth. Every other councillor jumped to defend government policy and avoid the truth. As always, there's only one councillor in Fingal prepared to call it what it is, a replacement. Demographics are destiny. It's time to stop restructuring our country around replacement and start rebuilding the future for Irish people and their children. The only way we do that is by taking more and more seats in the next set of elections.

Sinn Féin are not only totally disconnected from their main working class vote they are disconnected from reality entirely. "The tricolour is a symbol of peace between our two great traditions of the Gael and the planter". -Mary lou McDonald - Uachtarán Shinn Féin.

Lanesborough gave reliable power and local jobs but was closed for the green agenda. Now they’re building new flexible plants like Platin in Meath because renewables can’t deliver steady output on their own. A €300 million private project by SSE, due 2028. I'm sure I'll be told "this has nothing got to do with data-centres" like I was the last time a crew from Eirgrid turned up to a local area committee meeting.

Last night in the Chamber they tried the smear… and admitted the truth. Labour called for a cordon sanitaire. Sinn Féin repeated a blatant lie about Coolock. And the executive finally admitted the Part 5 exemptions were hidden… until I forced them to the light. Transparency only happens when we demand it.

The supposed "representatives of the working class" in PBP & SF etc. want you to believe that people of a "miniority background" in Ireland are under threat from the Gardaí. Nothing is further from the truth as these two clips demonstrate. Both these guards should be suspended pending a full investigation but that most likely won't happen. Young fellas from areas like mine expect to be stopped more times than not when we see a squad car. When I was 14 we didn't have to be doing anything illegal or wrong like something your parents would scauld you for, we just had to be Irish youngfellas wearing a tracksuit but Africans wearing balaclavas in front of them however 🤝

Just floored a motion calling on Fingal County Council asking - "That this Council write to Minister James Browne TD., Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, insisting that housing supports such as the Help to Buy Scheme, Local Government Home Loan, Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, First Home Scheme, Rent Tax Credit, HAP, RAS, Cost Rental Scheme, Affordable Purchase Homes, Tenant Purchase Scheme and Social Housing be ringfenced to exclude all non-Irish nationals from accessing these supports.” No one seconded it, because there is a serious lack of will from your elected officials in prioritising you, your children and their futures, more concerned about being politically correct than anything else.

Today I brought an emergency motion to Fingal County Council calling on the Government to invoke Protocol 21 and opt out of the EU Migration Pact. It was rejected. Ireland is being signed up to binding EU migration quotas that were never put to the Irish people in a referendum. Protocol 21 is a legal opt-out that exists specifically to protect Irish sovereignty and this Government refuses to even discuss using it. Most politicians won't touch this topic. I will. The people of Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart didn't elect me to stay quiet on the issue that matters most to them. Mass migration is reshaping this country at a pace and scale that nobody voted for and the response from the political establishment is silence, deflection, or accusations of bad faith against anyone who raises it. I will keep bringing these motions. I will keep asking the questions others won't and I will keep representing the people who sent me to that chamber to speak plainly and without apology.

"I think the days of people having a job for life are long gone, perhaps even having a job for 10 years are gone as well." This was Minister James Lawless speaking yesterday in Kildare. This government is now openly admitting they cannot and clearly will not provide ordinary working people with the secure, stable, long-term jobs needed to buy a home, raise a family, and actually plan a future. Instead of spin about “adaptability” and “lifelong learning,” they should just admit the truth: they’ve completely failed to deliver the basic economic stability that previous generations enjoyed. They’ve abandoned the ordinary Irish worker. Decades of policy failure and open-door immigration that's driving down wages for the ordinary Irish worker ensuring housing remains a pipe dream for them. This government and their corporate friendly economics have delivered nothing but precarious gig-work, anxiety, and broken dreams for young Irish people trying to build a life and now a senior Minister is normalising it and even worse trying to make it normal for you to be "portable mid career". Disgraceful.

Dunsink/Scribblestown: Who is this housing actually for? Nearby estates are already 40-90% non-nationals. Irish families wait years on lists, becoming a disenfranchised serf class in their own communities, while everyone and anyone can just duck walk into Ireland and set up shop. I demanded a proper demographic assessment on who will occupy this new "settlement" not just traffic studies like the gaggle of wafflers around me.

Fingal County Council want to sell public land to Apruva to build a Hindu temple for a 50% discount. Instead of asking for €850k - money sorely needed and which could be used to serve the people of Fingal - they're asking only €425k. Needless to say I will oppose this measure and do my best to take this outrageous discount off the table, if not prevent the sale altogether. We don't need a Hindu temple, we need basic amenities for the Irish people: housing, special needs units, care facilities and more.
