Offaly Sinn Féin

To be fully transparent with constituents - today in Offaly County Council I voted against FG’s motion (supported by FF) not to nominate anyone for the Presidency. As this motion passed I did not have an opportunity to vote on Mr Sheridans nomination. #aras25

I have been contacted by several constituents regarding ongoing building works in Kilcormac. I have contacted Offaly County Council who have advised me they are not aware of any proposal from the Dept of Justice to use a building in Kilcormac for IPAs Accommodation.

Deputy Carol Nolan has clearly done a secret deal with Lowry and the Government at the expense of her own constituents. She must be honest with voters about whose interest she represents.

The heckling of Sinn Féin’s @mairedev by male Govt TDs in the Dáil today speaks volumes. I guess SF missed the govt memo that today was a day for tokenistic words and not a call for action that would actually further equality and inclusivity. #IWD2025

Housing in Offaly is Broken & Ordinary People are Paying the Price ‼️2/3 of OY TDs - Deputy Nolan & McCormack - are landlords ‼️Average rent in OY rose €4.8% to €1,554 ‼️For the 3rd month in a row OY had the 2nd highest number of adults in emergency accom. in the Mid. region

Never forget, the lack of women in Govt is a choice. This is a Govt that does not value women. @barrymward claim that Govt didn’t turn up because they couldn’t speak,is not only false,but speaks volumes. Women don’t owe you speaking time in exchange for being heard & represented.

Two important take away from todays #ReportCard2025 ‼️There was a doubling in the number of areas receiving an ‘E’ or ‘unacceptable’ grade from the previous year ‼️almost one in three of all the areas examined have experienced a deterioration from their 2021 grade

If only Micheál Martin and this Government devoted the same level of precision and examination to their housing projections, the cost of the children’s hospital, a bike shed, a security hut, and 70m of wall… to name but a few!!

The weaponisation and politicisation of the Irish language by Micheál Martin today in the Dáil is nothing short of a disgrace. It flies directly in the face of the acceptance and inclusivity every Gaeilgeoir strives for.

Friendly reminder, a house is not a product - it is a human right. #TonightVMTV

Good thing the courts are still sitting - although this might explain why some members of Govt are too busy to reconvene the Dáil tomorrow. independent.ie/irish-news/co… Denis O’Brien told to hand over documents as mobile firm sues over licence in wake of Michael Lowry payments

Fianna Fáil could really do with a civics refresher - between leader, Michael Martin’s belief that the primary purpose of the Dáil is to elect a Taoiseach and now Head of Comm’s, Donnacha Maguires belief that the Dáil only needs to meet to pass legislation!!

Between jobs for the boys, boosts to salaries, and now this it’s all just a bit grubby at this point, no?

Ashling Murphy 🕊️ Today, I joined hundreds others in waking along the Grand Canal in memory of Ashling Murphy on the third anniversary of her passing. 🧵 #AshlingMurphy

Christmas Tree Recycling 🎄 Gentle reminder that you can recycle your Christmas tree at the locations across Offaly until 31st Jan!

Happy New Year - let’s hope 2025 brings us closer to a more just, equal, and united Ireland for all.

…Won’t somebody please think of the ultra rich?! Oh, wait @FineGael do!
