When people on here demonise & abuse democratically elected representatives, normalising & inciting hatred, it’s no wonder that it makes the leap out into the real world. Limits get pushed & pushed. Solidarity with my friend @LeoVaradkar tonight & all victims of homophobic abuse.

Overall, I think #THEPLAN & @PaulTreyvaud are right. If the principle of indoor hospitality is acceptable, it should be for all with the appropriate precautions. Huge progress on vaccinations to our older & most vulnerable people makes this possible when it wasn’t previously.

The portrait of John Bruton that hangs on the Taoiseach’s landing just outside the Dáil chamber… Statements on his passing being delivered in the Dáil now. Enormous respect and regard expressed by all the main parties. Rest in peace, John (1947-2024) 🇮🇪

Making the case in the Dáil this week for funding for BOTH Tralee AND Killarney, the two Kerry applications under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF). Vital that funding is provided to help build a bright future for Kerry’s two biggest towns...💚💛
