And it doesn’t matter if a woman was just going for a run and was set upon, met him in a bar and flirted with him all night, or stayed married to him for 30 years. She did not deserve it. No one, ever, deserves it.
Sinn Féin are determined to protect Irish Neutrality. Today, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael failed to push through their agenda of dismantling the Triple Lock in the Defence Committee. This is progress, but there’s more to be done. Cont.
Sinn Féin President @MaryLouMcDonald is not afraid to speak truth to power. I am grateful for her commitment to ending the genocide in Gaza. May we live to see a free Palestine and a United Ireland. 🇵🇸🇮🇪
🗣️ "[I'm] constantly reminding the EU Commission that they're representing 27 member states – not just Germany and France." @LNBDublin on reports of a trade deal between the US and EU. #TonightVMTV
20 YEARS ON - TOWARDS A UNITED IRELAND 📆Saturday 2pm 📍Balmoral Hotel, Belfast On 28th July 2005, the IRA formally declared an end to its armed campaign. As the 20th anniversary nears, Gerry Adams & Séanna Walsh take part in a discussion to mark the historic occasion.
Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael have no plan for the to tackle the big crises. They’re out of touch and unwilling to act. People deserve better - not more broken promises. We need progress and we need delivery.
🗣️ "Why is there no acknowledgement as to what happened in the last NDP? What didn't get delivered, what the barriers were? @Farrell_Mairead has criticised the Government’s NDP, saying it fails to account for what went wrong last time and lacks essential detail. #TonightVMTV
🗣️ "The point is that we've been talking about this for decades and the only thing that's changed is actually the cost of it." @Farrell_Mairead reacts to the Government's €2 billion allocation for Metrolink in the latest National Development Plan. #TonightVMTV

Big announcements but little details in new NDP review – @Farrell_Mairead "As they say the devil is in the detail, and right now many of those details are still missing." sinnfein.ie/news/big-annou…
For the love of god, let the thousands of trucks of food in and end this horror. Let aid agencies do their jobs. Children are being starved to death. It is not normal to hear this - to see the images - and move on. We are at a point of moral failure so deep it’s hard to believe.

Taoiseach asked if the additional investement is new money for new projects or to existing projects. Answers by commiting to the Metro, pretty sure that was already a commitment, and equity for Irish Water (an entity that already exists)
Today's speeches are very reminiscent of the below NDP Launch speech in 2021. Is it back to the future for a Government of announcements, reannouncements and failure to deliver. gov.ie/ga/an-roinn-ca…
Will increased NDP fund new projects or provide additional money for existing projects @Farrell_Mairead "Given the government’s abject failure when it comes to infrastructure to date, how confident can we be that they will deliver on their new promises?" sinnfein.ie/news/will-incr…
