Monkstown BC’s Robin O’Reilly wins her 5th National Title tonight at the National Stadium- phenomenal achievement champ - keep up the great work 🥊🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🇮🇪👏👏👏👏
If @AnneRabbitte loses her seat, there will be no one more happy than HSE officials - and she can wear that as a badge of honour forever!!
Fascinating though that the ministers most at risk of losing - the health minister, the children’s minister, the disabilities minister.
There’s a lesson in there somewhere for whole of government policy!
Final tallies in Dublin Dun Laoghaire
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill of Fine Gael with 21% of first preferences. Suggestions already she will be elected on first count
Cormac Devlin (FF) and Barry Ward (FF) and Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP) chasing seats. Green Ossian Smyth in trouble
50% turnout??? 50%?? FFS, that is shameful. Polling days should be on a Sunday, but something tells me that wouldn't have made a difference. If you didn't vote because you couldn't be arsed, then you're not entitled to be pissed off about how things are. Ever. #GE2024
Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.
Writing critically about Sinn Féin often leads to a backlash. I've got to consider whether writing is worth the abuse. Politicians from all parties experience similar and far worse. My next article will advocate for politicians to assertively tell their abusers to f*ck off.
It is with great privilege and gratitude I will be contesting the General Election alongside @EmerHigginsTD . I’m dedicated, committed and embedded in our communities and hope with continued support to represent Dublin Mid West in the Dail 🗳️
“Against the backdrop of the humanitarian catastrophe that has been created by the unending bombardment by Israel of the civilian population, of Gaza generally, affecting the civilian population the most.”
Just a gentle reminder that we are looking forward to the annual 'Cyber Break' with @CyberSafeKidsIE this Friday from 5.00pm, proof that 'turning it off and on again' works for more than just phones!! 📵📵🖥🖥🙅♀️🙅♂️✌️✌️😁😁💪💪 https://t.co/BquhXw8dV9
Heading to bed after a long day.
But I just want to pay tribute to the young person who complained about Niall O'Donnghaile when they received those inappropriate texts and persevered against all odds. That took real courage, given O'Donnghaile's position in the party. Brave.
