Emer Higgins @FineGael, tried to spin @sinnfeinireland policy of not selling public land to private developers.
Luckily I was up next to put the record straight and how she along with NAMA & private developers have delayed housing.

Philip, Kim, Callum and Jayden were murdered in their own home. Nadia and Elliot are fighting for their lives.
From Waterford to Dublin and beyond, drugs gangs are terrorising families and communities.
This family deserves justice. Every community has the right to live free from violence and intimidation.
Sinn Féin will stand with communities and demand action to dismantle these gangs and protect families under threat.
Outrage today cannot become silence tomorrow.

Today is the 96th budget delivered by a Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael led government and it hasn’t shown you the respect you deserve.
You deserve a government that puts you first, puts more money in your pocket and gives your family a fair chance to build a future here at home.
We can make different choices.
Ireland’s best days lie ahead. There will be a day when the budget respects you and your families needs.
Tá an la ag teacht.

An emotional day for the many families who have fought for years to get the A5 road progressed.
Today is about them.
There can be no more delays. This life-saving project must now move forward at pace.
Sinn Féin has backed the A5 from day one and through Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins, we will keep working to see it delivered.

🇮🇪🇵🇸 “Israel thought they could get rid of us, and they can’t - this is proof of our existence.” - Palestinian goalkeeper Charlotte Phillips, flanked in Dalymount Park by her grandparents, who were both driven from their homes by Israel.
Her grandfather: “We would like to thank Ireland. Nobody has done what Ireland has done for us. Thank you very much, Ireland. We love you. We love you.”
Her grandmother: “The Irish people are so warm. Every time someone says something to me, I just want to cry because we have never seen this in our lives.”
