Unapologetic. Fearless. Progressive Politican. 1st Female IND Councillor elected to Seanad Eireann.
Some of us politicians have been saying this for years. We need to push the 🛑 button on immigration to allow us to serve those who are currently legal in Ireland. #Housing.
Ireland needs immigrants. But our economy can’t accommodate an infinite number - mailchi.mp/davidmcwilliam…
I am currently in New York to participate in a global parliamentary forum on SDGs. The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women @CedawUn lacks the authority to compel sovereign nations to conduct referenda until a desired outcome is attained. It is imperative…
World governments are ignoring what's happening in Syria, where #Christians and #Druze are being slaughtered in a brutal Islamist genocide. They're just picking and choosing which countries for their outrage. #Syria #GenocideInSyria
In summary, there appears to be no one leading this country in the interest of the Irish citizens. Take a listen, @john_mcguirk is right.
"Have these politicians lost their f**kin minds when it comes to what their job is?" John compares the stories affecting Irish people this week to the diaries of our political leaders. PODCAST: youtu.be/RRV6HRjrURI?si…
When individuals who arrive here possess greater rights than those of us who are residents, it is appropriate to consider withdrawing from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in matters pertaining to Justice and Home Affairs. #OptOutECJ
It's time for women to stand up. #AmendGRA
The GRA in Ireland was introduced ten years ago as a result of a purposeful campaign that limited press exposure (see next tweet). It’s been disastrous and it has allowed male rapists into the female prison @TheCountessIE #GRA10YearsOn #GRATimeToTalk
Following the recent vote by our Irish Members of the European Parliament to endorse @vonderleyen, I have decided to stand as a #Independent candidate for the Midlands–North-West in 2029. This EU rot must be stopped.
The lowest of the low are those who exploit others for their own gain. These women aren't opting for a life in prostitution; they are victims of trafficking, ensnared by ruthless pimps who rightfully belong behind bars. Why are our @gardainfo ignoring these #Pimps?…
Charity today says it has helped 80 (eighty) victims of trafficking & pimps in Cork and Kerry in the past 12 months. How many prostitution offences recorded in Cork & Kerry in past 12 months, Garda? Zero. Nada. Nuttin.
Are you facing home #repossession? Did you take out a mortgage before 2009? Has your loan been sold to a #VultureFund? Are you now in legal proceedings to lose your home? Are you being charged an excessive interest rate that has pushed you into default? Your mortgage may have…
🎗️ I welcome Govt plans to end discrimination against cancer survivors in mortgage protection. The new law will back the Right to be Forgotten — protecting those 7+ yrs post-treatment (5+ if under 18). A big step forward for fairness & dignity.
The Joint Committee on Children and Equality chaired by Deputy Keira Keogh will meet on Thursday with representatives of Tusla – the Child and Family Agency to discuss priority topics and issues facing the agency, and related matters. #SeeForYourself oir.ie/a19dffe
Hold on, we have 37,000 in Ireland alone. I'm wondering if any of these are on both gravy trains?
Between 2019 and 2023 The @EU_Commission spent €17 billion of Europeans taxpayers’ money on 37,000 NGO contracts. Many of these are political activist networks working against elected governments, without any democratic mandate. This shady NGO funding must be exposed and…
Ireland should hold another referendum to get rid of women and mothers from the constitution? We will have to defeat it by an even bigger margin next time 😂 Someone just sent me a list of organisations who submitted for the UN report and it includes LGBT Ireland who, at this…
Ireland should hold another referendum on women in the home, UN committee says irishtimes.com/ireland/social…
County councillors across the country still have the ability to nominate a candidate from their council for the future president position. I'm counting on these elected men and women to help get some good independent candidates on the ballot for the presidential elections in…
