I had a busy day today, but I finally made it up to O'Connell Street to meet with the protesters for Day 5. It was great to see some familiar faces from Meath, Cavan, and Louth. I had a wee chat with James Geoghegan. I hope he is well compensated by the media for defaming him. The atmosphere there is great: Gardaí on the ground are pleasant, and traffic is flowing—only O'Connell Street is blocked. Traffic on the Quays is flowing too. Hopefully, this government will put an end to these countrywide protests tomorrow with a package that benefits everyone. Keep it peaceful. #FuelProtests #MakeWorkPay

This is not right. #StormAgnes is due on Wednesday. Take a look at what our government considers sanctuary for #Refugees in Stradbally in Laois. Is this right? No one should have to live in these conditions. We must push the 🛑 button now. This now is becoming a money-making racket and has little to do with human rights.

Approximately 1.2 million people in the European Union are currently seeking asylum. Ireland has six applications per 1,000 inhabitants—the third-highest rate in the EU. Also remember the 4.38 million non-EU citizens who fled Ukraine as a consequence of Russia’s war. Temporary Protection Applicants are never temporary. Ireland has 20 applications per 1,000 inhabitants. This #EUMigrationPact will fail and we will have no control over who comes into our country. #ImmigrationMadness

I commend all people who will exercise their democratic right and will vote as they are legally entitled to do so - in the privacy of the ballot box- for whoever they like or however they like. Do not sit at home, you can still make your voice heard. If you want, go out and spoil your vote. It may be dissident, but it is peaceful. It may be controversial, but it will ultimately be constructive. It is YOUR RIGHT, it is DEMOCRACY #Aras2025 #GoVote #CitizensRights

The #HateSpeechBill is back next Wednesday at 4pm in the Seanad. They are trying to ram this through at all stages before the election in November. If you value #freedomofspeech and your right to your freedom of conscience, please contact your TDs and Senators and ask them to oppose this bill and #BinTheBin #McEnteeMadness

214,000 votes have made this lot wake up. No words are needed; we want action. Ireland can still #OptOut of #EUMigrationPact as we are under "migratory pressure". Spain, Poland, Greece, Netherlands and Italy are looking to Opt-Out. Finland & Sweden won't take any immigrants under the solidarity mechanism. So you can imagine the numbers Ireland will be expected to take, or pay €20K per person to send them elsewhere. The only solution for Ireland is: 1️⃣ Opt-Out of EU Migration Pact. 2️⃣ Build detention centres near airports. 3️⃣ Swift, 14 day processing. 4️⃣ Airlines carrying immigrants with no documents must pay €15,000 instead of the €5,000. #ResignHarris #MigrationMadness

This presidential election was a stitch up from the beginning. #Aras2025

While many Irish politicians are quick - and rightly so-to condemn the creation of AI images of children, they have been far quieter when confronted with real, documented cases for actual sexual abuse of minors occurring within state managed systems. #ChildLawProject

A crisis tax for a crisis moment. 15 years later, the government clings onto #UniversalSocialCharge as though it's a sacred pillar of social stability. The working poor are paying 5 star taxes for 3 star services. Corporation Tax has skyrocketed 10 fold since 2025. The money is there.Time to give the working man and woman a break! Time to #AbolishUSC

It's my last day officially in Seanad Éireann. I have loved every minute of it and it has been an enormous privilege to serve the people of this country. I will be continuing my role right up until my re-election date. #SupportingYouAlways #GeneralElection24

What you may not hear today is the hunger strike of Mary, Miriam, Maurice and Mary, who are on hunger strike and sleeping outside the houses of Leinster House seeking redress for the 4,500 survivors of institutional abuse. My goodness what sort of a country are we that can't give them a HAA medical card and a contributory pension? Instead let's build that centre of remembrance! This government is actually tone deaf to our own. #eldercare #HungerStrike
