What an absolute privilege it was to show Connolly for President around the best of the North Inner City Yesterday. She will be an outstanding president, and I can’t wait to continue following her campaign trail.

Well done to the activists for their relentless campaigning. Next step is to get these war bonds out of Europe entirely.

The Social Democrats stand with disability rights campaigner Cara Darmody. It is unacceptable, in a country with huge resources, that thousands of children are waiting so long for an Assessment of Need – and subsequently for the delivery of services and supports. State has failed them.

In last year’s budget, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail increased the gap between rich and poor to its highest level in years. Budget 2026 must prioritize those that need it most. Social Justice Ireland

Next week’s budget needs to provide targeted measures to support workers and families struggling with the cost of living crisis. Instead, the government is planning to gift huge amounts of public money to massively profitable large corporations.

#Budget2026 must strike a balance between protecting our economic security, dealing with long-term challenges, and providing targeted supports to hard-pressed households. The Social Democrats' Alternative Budget sets out our vision for achieving these goals. socialdemocrats.ie/social-democra…

Despite record budget surpluses, the govt has failed to get to grips with inequality or invest in Ireland's future The SocDems' Alternative Budget shows that there is another way Public money can be invested wisely to drive down costs and support people who are struggling

This budget abandons the people struggling to put food on the table.   Instead, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil continue to look after big business and developers.   #budget2026

The govt's priorities for Budget 2026 couldn't be any clearer. They have awarded millions in profits to corporations and developers, at the expense of ordinary people who are struggling. This budget is a bonanza for big business that doubles down on this Govt’s failures.

5 Irish citizens have been abducted by Israeli forces in international waters. Delivering food to a starving people is not a crime. Solidarity with Veronica O Keane, Barry Heneghan, Mutaz Jadaan, Naoise Dolan and Finn MacArthur. #FreedomFlotilla irishtimes.com/world/middle-e…

According to the Parliamentary Budget Office poverty rates will rise as a result of #Budget2026. The Gov has sided with fast food chains and property developers at the expense of the most vulnerable.

Good to hear Barry Heneghan TD is home and safe. The 4 remaining Irish citizens illegally kidnapped by Israeli forces must be released immediately.

Minister Carroll MacNeill’s statement earlier should be seen for the desperate distraction attempt it is. Those of us supporting Catherine’s bid for the presidency refuse to be distracted by baseless attacks from a Fine Gael party that is clearly lashing out and in panic mode.

Ireland has the highest electricity prices in Europe. A report from the International Energy Agency shows clear evidence of price gouging so why is the Gov doing nothing about it? independent.ie/business/money…

The vast majority of Ireland’s trade with the Occupied Palestinian Territories is through services. Ommiting services from the Bill would be a total cop out. irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…

Catherine Connolly will be a President who will raise her voice for marginalised groups. She has committed to setting up a Presidential Council for people with disabilities to raise their concerns. For a strong advocate in the Áras, vote Catherine Connolly on October 24th.
