"There's a humanitarian crisis on the Turkish/Greek border, yet the EU is set to spend €38bn on border security. Imagine if we put that investment into development aid, conflict resolution & climate adaptation in the global south."
More from @noonan_malcolm's maiden Dáil speech
In his maiden Dáil speech, @noonan_malcolm has called for a 'cooperative and cultural revolution'. Quoting @BillyBragg, he said "Capitalism is like a fire - keep it under control and it will give you heat and light. Leave it untended and it will consume everything in its path."
Congrats to the @IrishRugby U20s on great win tonight & Tim on making his debut. This time last year he was training in Foulkstown!! Immense pride to see this man in the green jersey. Well done Tim.

On the question of reducing the herd, @EamonRyan say we should reform the Common Agricultural Policy to pay farmers properly for storing carbon in our soil, cleaning up our water, helping restore nature, and providing high-quality food they get a premium price for. #CBlive
'We just need to keep building,' says @saoirse_mchugh when it comes to solving the housing crisis. 'The money is there, we're spending so much on HAP, it's a black hole. We should build cost rental housing on public land - we did it before, we can do it again.' #TonightVMTV
'Why not invest in public transport for Mayo?' asks @saoirse_mchugh on @TonightVMTV. 'Why spend €240m on 20km of road? Improve the existing road & invest in public transport, because 1.8m people in Ireland don't drive - disabled people, the elderly, young people.' #TonightVMTV
