Horrified at the vile homophobic abuse outside @leovaradkar & Matt’s home. No one has the right to bully & intimidate at a politicians home, this was not a protest it was an inevitable sinister mob result of repeatedly debasing political discourse #standup

Returning my ballot paper to @FineGael HQ I’ve voted yes #pfg because this is a time our country & the next Government needs Fine Gael leading and at the heart of decision making. #ProgrammeForGovernment contains ambitious plans I support for our country & constituency @FG_DSC

Profound words from my 5 year old this morning ... doing jobs together we took out a blanket to fold, she wanted to do it herself I offered to help .. she said “I believe in myself to be able to do this” #parenting is also about learning, today I was the student
