If & when someone is charged with the killing of Josh Dunne we will no longer be able to publicise Josh’s name because of the current application of s.252 of the Children Act. That law needs to be amended urgently so that child victims such as Josh are not erased from our memory.

I had a very good meeting this morning with @HMcEntee and @SenatorMcDowell about bringing forward legislation to amend s. 252 Children Act that prevents the naming of children who’ve been killed. We’re all committed to changing this provision.

I was shocked to hear of the death of my former @leinsterrugby team mate Gary Halpin. He was a great prop and an outstanding athlete. He was also great fun and provided non stop entertainment. My condolences to his family and friends.

Great performance by Waterford @CrokePark . Hopefully, the GAA will permit all squad players to attend the final. It’s unfair and unnecessary to deprive players who have trained with their team all year from attending the final. #GAA

Just got great news from @NormaFoleyTD1 that the department has approved the building of a new national school in the Dublin 2/4 area. Duirt si liom go mbeidh an scoil nua ina Gaelscoil. Go hiontach!

I was very honoured to be asked by @fiannafailparty in Dublin Bay South to lay a wreath this morning at Beggars Bush Barracks in honour of Erskine Childers who was executed here 100 years ago today.

I was very sorry to hear of the death of Ben Briscoe. He was a hugely significant figure in Fianna Fáil and served his constituents as a TD for 37 years. People in the constituency still speak very fondly of him.

I had a great day out with @DeirdreConroyIE and her team today. She got a great response and I’m very proud to have her as the @fiannafailparty candidate in the by-election. #TeamDeirdre #DBS21 #ByElection2021

Dr. Brian Hillery was a wonderful man who made a huge contribution to the country through his work in politics & academia. He was of great support to me. The memory of his wonderful life will help his wife Miriam & family get through this difficult time.

I think you forgot my Parole Act which is unsurprising considering your lack of interest in victims of crime.

When people make an emergency 999 call they need immediate help. We need a detailed explanation from @gardainfo why these calls were “cancelled”, and an assurance that calls from victims of crime, especially victims of domestic violence, will be heard.
