My contribution to the @FineGael Ard Fheis questioning what it is to be Irish and the need for a broader more true & reflective view of that. #FGAF21

Is this fake news? It’s hard to tell…

Every 48 hours someone dies on Irish roads – not because they failed, but because we did. Writing in the @Independent_ie today on behalf of our 26,000 @CyclingIreland members and all vulnerable road users. We need to rethink road safety in Ireland. m.independent.ie/opinion/commen…

Well done to the Gardaí in Dún Laoghaire for their swift & effective operation this week, which led to the seizure of over €110,000 worth of cocaine. This type of proactive policing is crucial in keeping drugs off our streets and protecting our community. m.sundayworld.com/crime/irish-cr…

I’ve been contacted by a number of local residents associations to say that their beautiful old green street signs in Gaelic script have disappeared. @dlrcc confirmed they did not remove them. Please let me know if you noticed this in your area. @dunlaoghairecra @DunLaoghaireTT

People in #Gaza, including UNRWA colleagues, are fainting due to severe hunger. They are being starved. Meanwhile, just a few kilometers away from Gaza supermarkets and shops are loaded with food and other goods. Lift the siege. Allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

The Boylan Centre was purchased by DLRCC from the catholic church in Dún Laoghaire in 2023. The parish priest insisted that the site be used for social & affordable housing & sold the property at below market value to facilitate this. We should see a planning application by the…

Interesting discussion on DL Harbour & national stories RPZ and Triple Lock with @LorraineHallFG & @tomkivlehan concluding with @LarryPDonnelly on the Iran/ Israel feud and delayed Trump response on involvement on @DublinSouthFM @fridayforumdsfm mixcloud.com/DublinSouthFMC… #dsfm

This is fantastic! Well done @DunLaoghaireTT

The situation in Gaza remains intolerable. Israel’s strikes in Gaza go beyond what is necessary. Humanitarian aid must never be politicised or militarised. Challenging the special status of Jerusalem risks further escalating tensions. My statement → europa.eu/!4nXrtT

Anybody else spending waaaaay less time on Twitter and Facebook because of all the rubbish floating around the platforms…and much more time on LinkedIn?

NEW: In a significant change in protocol at EU level, the Palestinian ambassador to the EU has presented her diplomatic credentials to the Presidents of the European Council and Commission rather than to a lower-tier official.

I was delighted to appear on @DublinSouthFM to discuss a range if topics, including Pope Leo XVI, housing, skorts and other things. Many thanks @bryanfox10

Woken almost every hour last night by our home alarm, losing connection and sounding loudly. On-call technician said it’s linked to the major power outage in Spain — because the networks are interconnected. Hard to believe the #Spanishblackout is disrupting Irish homes.

Major power outage in Dún Laoghaire / Glenageary tonight. 2,688 households affected. Estimated restore time 23:00.

The proposed St Michael's park beside the church at the corner of Georges St & Marine Rd is NOT part of the Living Streets project. It should be going to Part 8 planning shortly. This area is in the very heart of the town and its vital that it looks good and works well.

I never imagined that the President of the United States could side with an authoritarian dictator who invaded a sovereign European nation. The attempt to humiliate @ZelenskyyUa today will backfire spectacularly. I stand with Ukraine. I’m certain every decent American does too
