The annual farce about #studentfees is unfair to students and their parents. Cut the fees permanently @kclr96fm

[David FitzGerald @davidfitzg]

As a political insider, @LCreighton misses the point. Government support for the Chair of the organisation that regulates Irish farmers food quality while he imports untraceable product from Brazil is total hypocrisy.

[Leo Varadkar @LeoVaradkar]

This is going to annoy a lot people but it's an analysis worth reading. If you don't like it, fair enough, trash the content not the messenger. Pyrrhic victories and men who cried wolf once too often could sell out Ireland's young farmers yet

Delighted to be with my friend and colleague @HHumphreysFG opening the new basketball courts in Thomastown when she was Minister for Communities.
With your help, she’ll make a wonderful President…always on the ball 👍👍👍

It’s time to start planning for a second airport beside the motorway network and main rail lines to serve Dublin. Having a planning authority effectively running aviation services is bonkers @kclr96fm @KKPeopleNews

It’s a big ask to expect renters to support changes to encourage investors to deliver more homes. @kclr96fm @KKPeopleNews

It was with profound shock and sadness that I learned today of the loss of Garda Kevin Flatley who died in the course of his duties on Sunday.

I extend my heartfelt sympathies to his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Roads Policing Unit and all those who loved him.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

[David FitzGerald @davidfitzg]

Without Zelensky, Putin would have overrun Ukraine and be poised to attack Moldova and the Baltic States. With #Trump’s decision to sell out Ukraine, #Zelensky is the new leader of the Free World.

Simon Coveney is not just a colleague, he is a friend. He has served his constituency, his party and his country with distinction. Most particularly his contribution to protecting our national interest during Brexit is an outstanding legacy.

[Seán Kelly MEP @SeanKellyMEP]

Serving 13 years in cabinet, @simoncoveney has been a great servant of the country and the people of Cork. I am proud to have worked closely with Simon for a number of years on key issues effecting Ireland South.

He has made his mark on every Ministry he held, but his resolute handling of the Brexit negotiations stands out as a notable highlight of his legacy.

[Deirdre Clune @DeirdreCluneMEP]

Thank you @simoncoveney for the dedication, commitment and most importantly the leadership you have shown throughout your 13 years in Cabinet.

I am proud to have served as a @FineGael public representative with you
