Reopening the Sligo to Galway railway is an example of the critical infrastructure badly needed in our region. Spending ~€50 million on inserting a “temporary” greenway on the route is not. Time to reopen the #westernrailcorridor #westofireland #sligo #galway #greenwashing

Fine Gael must think people are stupid as they scrape the bottom of the barrel with their smears against Catherine Connolly.
It’s Fine Gael who refused to build public housing as they rolled out the red carpet for vulture funds.
It’s Fine Gael who pushed home ownership out of the reach of an entire generation.
Ordinary people screwed while vulture funds made obscene profits, Young people, their parents and grand parents will remember that next Friday. Vote Catherine Connolly 1

The Connolly Moment - how Irish politics is realigning. The left unites around equality, neutrality, and Irish unity.

Sinn Féin is backing Catherine Connolly to be the next Uachtaráin na hÉireann! Our job is to get Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael out of government and to keep them out of the Áras.
Anois an am. Anois uair na cinniúna.
We can elect a President who will champion a United Ireland, stand up for Ireland’s place in the world as a defender of neutrality and human rights, and speak out for fairness and economic justice.
It’s now game on to elect Catherine Connolly as Ireland’s next President. We will give it our all!

It's not "soft on crime" to defund criminal organisations by legalising cannabis, quite the opposite. @lukeming has so far been the only Irish politician to call the political cowardice in this regard. @TheGreenParty @SocDems @labour @pb4p Raise your voices! #legaliseit

President von der Leyen’s State of the Union Address is a missed opportunity to tackle multiple EU challenges head on.
By refusing to use the word genocide in her speech, Ursula von der Leyen diminished the full scale of what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Israeli war bonds will no longer be sold in Ireland.
This has been stopped by the hard work of campaigners. I commend you all.
It shows what people can acheive even without the support of their government.
The genocide in Gaza won't stop until Israel face real sanctions for their crimes.
We won't stop until that happens.

Delighted to be in Westminster to meet with representatives of the international diplomatic community & discuss the growing momentum for Irish Reunification.
It’s time to turn the page and open a new chapter in the British-Irish relationship - and to prepare for a referendum on Irish Unity in this decade.

🗣️Everyone deserves a say in what a united Ireland looks like.
👏Maith sibh to Fermanagh & Omagh council who have established a working group on Irish Unity to give locals a chance to have their say.
🙌Let’s start planning NOW for an Ireland that works for everyone!

🚨 Watch this! Mary Lou gets right to the heart of the FF/FG grubby deal with Michael Lowry. The deal the Ceann Comhairle moved heaven and earth to protect last week. The deal that secured her own position. This is all about the cosy club looking after their own. The Ceann Comhairle’s position is utterly compromised.

There’s no hiding place for the Taoiseach today. You can’t be in government and in opposition at the same time. What exactly does Michael Lowry have over Micheál Martin? We’ll fight this all the way!

🚨Breaking News: Leaders of the Combined Opposition have written to the Taoiseach seeking an urgent meeting in advance of Tuesday’s Dáil sitting. The government’s self-serving attempts to make unprecedented changes to how the Dáil works are unacceptable.
The Opposition has put an alternative on the table which facilitates speaking time for government TDs including Michael Lowry’s group and preserves democratic integrity of the Dáil.
You cannot be in government and opposition at the same time. Accepting this democratic norm is essential for our system to work.

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
