I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Paschal Donohoe on his new role at the World Bank. I also thank Paschal for his years of public service, in particular as a government minister since 2014.

I also thank Paschal for his years of public service, in particular as a government minister since 2014.

We have introduced Budget 2026, followed by departmental sectoral plans, and last week we launched our new National Housing Plan. The Government remains focused on delivering on the Programme for Government we agreed at the start of this year, and I wish Paschal all the

I’m frightened by the rise of misinformation linking autism, Tylenol & vaccines. ❌ No science behind it. ✅ Real risks: measles & other deadly outbreaks. Let’s stop shaming parents & stand with science. #Autism @fiannafailparty

Throughout this campaign, Fianna Fáil has been focused on presenting you with a program of positive change. I believe that the Irish people deserve a debate which has focused on how we can protect progress and go much further. Let’s move our country forward. Together.

Fianna Fáil is running 34 women in this election, more than any other Party has ever run. In 2026, Fianna Fáil will celebrate the centenary of our founding, marking 100 years since Constance Markievicz chaired the first Party meeting. Guided by her legacy, we are creating a more equal Ireland. Here's how: tinyurl.com/2p9aebf8
