@MichelleMone is complaining that #PPEMedpro has to be put into Administration. Yes, Michelle, that's because you and your grifter husband pillaged every cent you could get from the company - every cent of which was pillaged from taxpayers. #michellemone
Strange that @MichelleMone would publish a self-serving announcement on a public forum like this but would disable Comments. I just have one question for Michelle: Was the money worth it? #michellemone
Last year Heather Humphreys said she wasn’t physically able to keep going in politics. Luckily, the presidency requires even less energy than the Dáil.
What happened after Heather Humphreys got involved in an animal cruelty case
In 2017 the politician forwarded a letter to the Department of Agriculture from the family of a notorious farmer. Then a prosecution against him failed -
John Mooney
Kieran Devlin knew what to expect when he received an anonymous tip-off in February 2017 to say there were starving cattle on Brian Wright’s farm on the outskirts of Newbliss in Co Monaghan. The veterinary inspector had been called there countless times before to investigate Wright, a man notorious for inflicting horrific suffering on his animals.
Department officials tried to assist Wright in cleaning up his act so that he could keep his single farm payment, which was conditional on meeting welfare standards.
Heather Humphreys, then business minister, had a staff member deliver a letter from Wright’s family to the Department of Agriculture. When the case was withdrawn, she refused to answer specific questions.
The issue is becoming a problem for Humphreys, who entered the presidential race after Mairead McGuinness, the Fine Gael MEP, withdrew on health grounds. While Humphreys has repeated her denials of interference, she has yet to answer specific questions, such as whether she or her family knew Wright or his associates. How long she maintains that position remains to be seen.

🧵With Fine Gael set to nominate Heather Humphreys, former Minister for Social Protection, for the Áras race, we take a look back at her record in government.
Like all Fine Gael TDs, she enthusiastically propped up and directly contributed to the deep inequalities felt across Ireland.
She had undeclared derelict properties at a time when the state was in desperate need of housing stock. When asked about them she responded:
Whistleblower speaks out on Heather Humphreys and animal cruelty case
A retired veterinary inspector says Humphreys's intervention as business minister prompted the collapse of a criminal investigation
-John Mooney
Kieran Devlin, a retired veterinary inspector who has never previously spoken publicly on the case, said he was left “totally aghast” by the decision to drop the case against Brian Wright, a Co Monaghan farmer, after Humphreys, then minister for business, had a staff member deliver a letter to Brendan Gleeson, the department’s secretary-general.
While Humphreys has insisted she did not interfere in the case, internal Department of Agriculture documents say the charges were dropped after Wright’s family made “representations” to the Fine Gael grandee.

@HHumphreysFG Heather Humphreys should immediately withdraw from the race to be the next President of Ireland. This is absolutely disgusting and unforgivable. STROKE POLITICS at its worst. Simon Harris should force her to step down. #heatherhumphreys

@woodford Your overall track record is that you lost money for investors over a long period of time. Even if was possible for a fund manager to outperform the market over time, and it's not, your track records proves only a fool should follow you, in spite of how you think you come across
BREAKING:
Greta Thunberg is on a dangerous mission to Gaza to BREAK the Israeli blockade on Gaza.
The last time she tried Netanyahu BOMBED her boat.
Respect, Greta, and best of luck 🫡
@thejournal_ie That's not the big story. Did @ForvisMazars_ie seriously just give a Lifetime Achievement Award to a man a tribunal found made or facilitated payments and benefits to Michael Lowry, which were "profoundly corrupt to a degree that was nothing short of breathtaking."? Shameful.
It's still shocking that Western countries who have championed human rights, democracy and international law since World War 2 have sacrificed and abandoned everything to allow Israel to steal a tiny piece of land and ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.
Enemies of Francesca Albanese are trying to get the UN Special Rapporteur blocked from being renewed in May this year.
This is how they work if they can't beat you, and they can't smear you, they cancel you
Show your support for Francesca who dares challenge Israel's war crimes
